2.5 Connecting data cables
Note the following general recommendations for data cable connections in
environments with high electrical interference levels:
Keep the length of the data cables as short as possible.
When using copper cables, provide a sufficient separation between the
power supply cables and the data cables. Ideally, install the cables in
separate cable channels.
Verify that power supply cables and data cables do not run parallel over
longer distances. If reducing the inductive coupling is necessary, verify
that the power supply cables and data cables cross at a 90° angle.
Use shielded data cables for gigabit transmission via copper cables. Only
use shielded data cables to meet EMC requirements according to
EN 50121-4 and marine applications.
See “Underlying technical standards” on page 56.
Seal all unused connections and ports with the provided plastic protection
screws. See “Scope of delivery” on page 54. See “Accessories” on
page 54 in case of an additional demand.
Note: The torque for tightening the protection screws on the device is
5.3 lb-in (0.6 Nm).
Perform the following work steps:
Connect the data cables according to your requirements.
Make sure the cable shielding is connected to the M12 plug thread.
