Guidelines for Routing the Network Cables
To ensure maximum performance of your network, follow
these guidelines when routing the network cables.
• Route the cables away from sharp edges that might
damage the insulation.
• Allow at least 2 ¼ inches (57 mm) of space behind the
wall to accommodate the depth of the unit and allow
room for the network cables to bend.
• Allow for some slack in the cable tension.
• Keep the alignment of wire pairs inside the sheath as
straight as possible.
• Allow separation between data and power cables (data
cables should only cross a power cable at right angles).
• Do not staple the cable outside the inverter with metal
cable staples. Use the appropriate hardware fasteners to
avoid damage to the cable.
In a multiple-inverter installation, the SunPower Solar
Monitor must connect to the nearest inverter. The male
terminator must connect to the final inverter in the networked
chain (see Figure 3). For more information about installing a
multiple-inverter network, see “Communications Wiring for
Multiple Inverters” in the SunPower Solar Inverter Owner’s
Manual.

WARNING: Shock hazard
Do not route the network cables in the same conduit or panel as the
AC and DC power cabling. When connecting and routing the
network cable in the inverter wiring box, make sure the network
cable runs on top of the insulation barrier and out the side conduit
hole, avoiding any contact with the AC and DC wiring.
WARNING: Shock hazard
Before making an opening in a wall or panel, ensure there is no
wiring or other obstruction within the wall.
