Standard bus cable, PCU–HCU
The standard bus cable connects the PCU to the
helm station(s), HCU, in the system. It is fitted in
the PCU X2:DATALINK connector and the HCU X2:
DATALINK connector, that is, cable connector marked
CONN X2 (green) shall be fitted in the helm unit.
The standard bus cable is available in the following
lengths:
5 m (16 ft), 7 m (23 ft), 9 m (30 ft), 11 m (36 ft), 13 m
(42 ft) with socket connectors (female) at both ends.
NOTE! The cable has female connections on both
ends and cannot be used as an extension.
Extension cables are available in the following
lengths: 1.5 m (5 ft), 3 m (10 ft), 5 (16 ft), 7 m (23 ft),
9 m (30 ft), 11 m (36 ft) and with a pin (male) and a

IMPORTANT! It is very important to reduce
stress from the cables on the connectors. We
recommend that all cables are fixed to the HCU
with strain reliefs.
Mount strain reliefs as shown in the illustration above.
IMPORTANT! Always make sure that the lock-
ing mechanism between the male and female
connectors closes with a click. This guarantees a
water-tight correct closure.
