Serial Data Cables
Serial Data Cables
The RS-422 cables that are used to connect the AccuSwitch System Control-
lers to the L-S and LCD Control panels consist of a 4-conductor (plus
ground) cable. The maximum length per bus, at 115k Baud, is 610 meters
(2000 feet).
The rear panel Serial Data Cable connectors on the CM-4400 or CM-4000
and Control panels are 9-pin D, female. The control panel connectors are
arranged for loop-through wiring and no termination is required. These
connectors are ESbus compatible, however, it should be noted that the
Thomson serial data cables use only 5 of the 9 pins that are described in the
ESbus specification.
The following cables are available, with 9-pin D male connectors installed,
already made from Grass Valley (VDE cables include ferrite cores):
For those who wish to prepare their own cables, the pin-outs are shown in
Figure 31 . The cable itself should be Belden 8723 or equivalent.
Details concerning ferrite cores are given in Figure 32 .
