7.3. TRANSDUCER CABLE
The transducer cable consists of seven CAT-5 cables and one
screened pair for the transmit connection.
To fit the RJ-45 connectors and cable through the gland, no
special preparation is required.
The WASSP transceiver cable end has the RJ-45 connectors
fitted with “staggered” cable lengths. This allows each RJ-45
connector and its associated cable to be fed through the gland
fitting easily.
Commencing with the black RJ-45 cable and black transmit
cable, feed each cable in turn through the gland, finishing off
with the grey RJ-45 connector and cable.
Complete fitting and tightening the gland as shown in
10. Mounting the Gland Assembly" on page 26.
NOTE: Colour code for transmit cable
conductors: White, Black and Green.
CAUTION: DO NOT STRAIN THE TRANSDUCER
CABLE!
Forcing the cable to bend, twist, or stretch
beyond its means will damage the transducer
and impair performance.
Once the transducer has been installed, ensure
that the transducer cable is not under tension.
Use cable ties (or similar) to secure the cable as
necessary.

but the RJ-45 plug wiring is specific to the
WASSP transceiver and does NOT conform

of the connector with something sharp before
soldering to assist with the join.
