Modbus 
Cable type   Individually screened 2 pair data cable, 24AWG, low capacitance, low smoke halogen free. 
Outer diameter 7mm (max) 
To prevent signal crosstalk OMD cables should be segregated from high voltage cables and 
follow good installation practice 
Please Note: The Remote Display Unit Modbus data cable should NOT be connected when the 
power is applied to the unit. 
Suggested cables: 
  FS Cables  2402PIFFH 
  Beldon  9729 
  Helkama  RFE-HF(i) 2x2x0.75 
  Jinro  60V RCOP(IS) 
The above cable should be used to connect between the control unit and either the ships AMS system 
or the Remote Display Unit 
The Modbus connection to the Remote Display Unit may be made using the pre-terminated 5m cable, 1-
43682-K297. The cable may be extended to provide the required length to the Control Unit. 
Refer Figure 21, Figure 22 and Figure 23 for cable extension methods  
Alternatively, a single length of cable may be used between the Control Unit and the Remote Display 
Unit. Using this method, the cable must be terminated in using a 9 pin D type connector + IP65 shell, 1-
27400-K305.
