7.4.8. Cable Routing and Segregation

To help in removing the possibility of noise problems, GEM

80 interconnecting

cables are categorised into groups and these separate groups must be run
physically separated by at least the distances given in Figure 7.5.

Figure 7.5 - Wiring Segregation

7.4.9. Pre-cut Ribbon Cable Lengths

Some GEM

80 equipment is supplied with ready-made ribbon cables of a pre-cut

length, as detailed in the relevant Product Data Sheets.
