(5) Wiring to connector
X2A , X2B
[1] Use shielded twisted pair (STP) compatible with category 5e of SIA/EIA-568 or higher specifications.
If both ends of the shield are not grounded, EMC performance will degrade.
When installing connector plug on both ends of shielded cable, positively connect the shield to the metallic plug
shell.
For colors of wire and matching connector pins, refer to TIA/E1A568B (see figure below).
Pins 3 and 6 are for signal wire.
Connect wire to 3 pin pairs on the connector: 1–2, 4–5 and 7–8.
When using 2-pair wire in place of 4-pair wire, use pins 1–2 and 3–6 and leave pins 4–5 and 7–8 on connector
unconnected.
[2] Length of communication cable
a. Between 2 nodes: max. 100 m
b. Total length of cables between all nodes in the communication loop: max. 200 m
Both requirements shuld be met.
If the requirement b above cannot be met, consult with us.
Because specifications such as flexural characteristic, temperature range and insulation material differ from
manufacturer to manufacturer, select the cable best suitable for your application.
Select the cable for movable application according to your operating condition.
