Not mandatory but is recommended in case the
actuator is placed in conjunction with equipment
emitting high levels of disturbances.
Bus connection of actuators is undoubtedly the most cost-effective installation
methodology. Eltorque has developed a ground-breaking Hybrid CANbus/Power
cable especially designed for maritime applications.

The Eltorque Hybrid Marine Cable combines signal and power cable in a hybrid
cable with maritime type approval. The cable can only be used for installations
with CANopen communication interface box. When this cable is used, only two
cable glands are required, see Chapter 8 Ordering Information and
Recommended Spare Parts.

Further description of the Hybrid Marine Cable is found in the Hybrid Marine
Cable datasheet, Eltorque document ID 1982. The datasheet is available on
www.eltorque.no – Products – System components.
With traditional cabling, four cable glands are required to accommodate both
power and signal cables. When ordering please inform if you intend to use the
Hybrid Marine cable or a standard cable.
