Communications Cables
The following table shows the Communications Cables that can be used in a
CompoNet Network.
Flat Connectors In a CompoNet Network, the connectors described below can be connected
to the Communications Cable to enable extending the cable length, branching
cables, and wiring to Slave Units.
Flat Connector Socket
■ Flat Cable I
Note The only case when the Socket is used with a Round Cable II is to connect
the Cable to a Terminating Resistor.
