The Honeywell FS-PDC-IOS05A Power Distribution Cable is a high-reliability cable solution engineered specifically for use within Honeywell’s Fail-Safe Controller (FSC) and Safety Manager architectures. This cable provides a secure and efficient pathway for 24V DC power transmission from the Power Distribution Component (FS-PDC) to the Input/Output Safety (IOS) modules.

Constructed with industrial-grade insulation and double shielding, the FS-PDC-IOS05A is optimized for harsh environments that demand consistent uptime and fault tolerance. It is widely used in safety-critical applications where equipment continuity and power reliability are paramount. Its ruggedized form and pre-terminated ends ensure fast, error-free installation while meeting the requirements for modern process automation and control environments.
