3.3 Cabling
Cabling should use 26AWG (or larger) Cat5 cable and RJ-45 connectors. The
Hubs accept only standard RJ-45 plugs. Some of the devices have sealed RJ-45
jacks, available from Skip-Line, which will accept either standard or
strain-relieved IP-67 rated plugs. See Appendix B for instructions on RJ-45
connector wiring.
Cable protection devices should be used to prevent vibration-induced chaffing
from occurring against sharp edges. Avoid pinch points where the cable may be
damaged from moving parts.
➢
Run cable between each of the devices and the Hub each device will connect to.
➢
Run a cable between the Rear Hub and Front Hub.
➢
Plug all the boxes into the nearest Hub. Any available port (except for UPLINK ports)
can be used.
➢
Plug the Front Hub into the Rear Hub using a connection cable from the UPLINK on
one Hub to the UPLINK port on the second Hub.
➢
Double check each connection, and then supply the Hub(s) with +12V power. Make sure
that each Hub lights up and does not show power faults or short circuits. If any fault
lights occur, remove power from the system immediately and correct the faulty device.
Refer to the BUS-012 insert for more information on HUB wiring and diagnostic
LED information.
