Cable Requirements
SCANport cables are available in either Male to Male or Male to Female
configurations. Cables of up to 10 meters (33 feet) can be connected
from the SCANport device to the 1560-MBP. If a Port Expander is used,
the cable length from the master to the Port Expander must be
subtraced from the cable length used to connect the device to the
expander (B1 + C = max 10 meters).
Generally when selecting a SCANport cable, the Male-Male
configuration will be used. This is true in all cases when
connecting to Ports 2 through 5. If connecting to the HIM
port (Port 1) the Male-Female cable will be required.
Please verify with the Installation Manual for the A–B device the correct
cable configuration. The following drawing, excerpted from A-B
document 1203-5.2, is an example for a 1305 drive installation.
