Process Control Communication Solution – Honeywell 8937-HN | TDC 3000 Series
Where This Product Is Used
The Honeywell 8937-HN Fiber Optic Extender Module is engineered for mission-critical distributed control system (DCS) environments where long-distance, noise-immune data transmission is essential. Typical deployment sites include:
- Oil & Gas Refineries – Extends TDC 3000 LCN/UCN network segments across large process units where copper cabling is susceptible to EMI from motors and variable-frequency drives.
- Chemical & Petrochemical Plants – Provides galvanic isolation between control rooms and hazardous-area field cabinets, reducing ground-loop interference.
- Power Generation Facilities – Bridges DCS nodes across turbine halls and switchgear rooms where high-voltage transients threaten signal integrity.
- Pulp & Paper Mills – Maintains reliable process data links in high-humidity, high-vibration environments where copper connections degrade rapidly.
- Pharmaceutical Manufacturing – Supports GMP-compliant, electrically isolated communication paths between cleanroom controllers and central DCS cabinets.

Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Can the 8937-HN be used with Honeywell Experion PKS systems?
A: The 8937-HN is a native TDC 3000 LCN component. Experion PKS uses a different network architecture (FTE – Fault Tolerant Ethernet). Consult your Honeywell system integrator before specifying this module for Experion environments.
Q: What fiber type and connector standard does the 8937-HN use?
A: The module is designed for multimode fiber. Connector type (ST, SMA, or other) should be confirmed against your specific unit’s revision documentation or by contacting our technical team.
Q: Is a warranty available on refurbished units?
A: Yes. Konmask.com offers a standard 12-month warranty on tested and refurbished units. New surplus units carry the original manufacturer warranty where applicable.
Q: What is the typical lead time?
A: In-stock units ship within 2–5 business days. For sourced units, lead time is typically 1–3 weeks depending on global availability.
Q: Can you provide a Certificate of Conformance (CoC)?
A: Yes. A CoC is available upon request for all orders.
