Note that you must only use shielded connector housings. A large surface area of both sides of
the cable shield must be in contact with the connector casing. You are advised to use Siemens
V42 254 shielded connector casings.
CAUTION
Never connect the cable shield with the GND, as this could destroy the submodules. GND must
always be connected on both sides (pin 8), otherwise the submodules could again be
destroyed.
