2.10 CABLE REQUIREMENTS
All cables used in the MPA system must be of approved ship cable type.
Requirements:
Common outer screen
Individually twisted pairs
Recommended conductor size is 0.75 mm²
All cabling in the MPA must be a separate network.
Do not combine different systems in the same cable. This is to prevent disturbance and noise caused by
interference.
SCREEN CONNECTION
In order to obtain maximum performance after installation, it is necessary to terminate the cables and
ground the screens in a good manner. The cables are to de-isolated by removing approximately 500
mm of the outer insulation. Then the screen braid is cut off approximately 30 mm longer than the outer
isolation. The conductors are to be de-isolated and ferruled before they are inserted into the terminals.
The outer screen is clamped to the cable fixing rails inside the cabinet. Cable ties of a conductive type
(metal) are recommended for best result.
Fig. 2.3
The cable outer screens are to be terminated as shown. Conductive cable ties are recommended to
obtain best possible screen connection.
