connections
System components share data together via a common Fastnet
2
databus and
are supplied with bayonet connectors for ease of installation. A selection of
cable lengths are available with options for straight and right angle
connectors to suit most requirements.
To prevent the occurrence of voltage drops on larger systems, the power
supply to the system should either be placed mid-way or at both ends of the
Fastnet
2
databus. To connect power to the mid-point of the system, it is
recommended that the 4-Way Hub be used. The 4-Way Hub offers two
advantages. The first advantage is that it offers a convenient entry point for
power onto the system. The second advantage is that it conveniently allows
the system to be branched to reduce the overall length of the system. The
correct selection of Fastnet
2
cable will negate the need for any plugs to be
removed from the system and ensure years of faultless operation.
