Cable requirements
B-36 Appendix B: System configurations 98-132904-C
Cable 17: CAN cable for bulk head installation.
Same cable as cable 12, but the plug is removed and the wires are connected to the
connection box.
Same pin configuration as cable 8. See Cable specifications for cable 8 (CTRL) on
page B-34.
Cable 18
Cable between the connection box and terminals to extend the power supply wires.
4 leads, screened wires of 0.5mm
2
. Supply for 6204 CSM for extended CAN BUS
connections.
Cable 19
The voltage drop along the cable increases with the length of the cable. Separate
supply cables can be installed in parallel with the CAN cable to reduce voltage drop in
long cables. The maximum allowed voltage drop from VHF to CSM is 2 VDC. It means
1 VDC forward and 1 VDC return.
The maximum current consumption for each CSM is 0.5 A.
Formula to calculate DC resistance in a wire:
L = length of wire one way, in metre
a = cross section of the wire in mm

For best EMC performance, place the supply cables in parallel with CAN cable
