Connecting the VCT6
All connections to a standard VCT6 are made through an unterminated, screened
12 core cable. The length of this cable is typically 2000mm ± 100mm. The
terminations for this cable are explained in Section 6.1, Ethernet variants and
Section 6.2, RS232 variants.
Alternatively, the unit may be fitted with a 3000mm ± 100mm unscreened
cable terminated with two Molex Mini-fit Jr connectors. The terminations for
this cable are explained in Section 6.2, RS232 variants.
