How to extend cable length (GPA-017S)
The standard cable is 10 m long. For extension, in case of the GPA-017S, an antenna
cable set of 30 m or 50 m is available. Extension cable cannot be used with the GPA-
017.
Fabricate the end of the antenna cable and attach the coaxial connector. Details are
shown on next page.
About CAN bus connections
CAN bus is a communication protocol that shares multiple data and signals through a
single backbone cable. You can simply connect any CAN bus devices onto the back-
bone cable to expand your network onboard. With CAN bus, IDs are assigned to all
the devices in the network, and the status of each sensor in the network can be de-
tected. All the CAN bus devices can be incorporated into the NMEA2000 network. For
detailed information about CAN bus wiring, see “Furuno CAN bus Network Design
Guide” (Type: TIE-00170) on Tech-Net), or contact your dealer.
