Ordering Network Components
Table 3-1 provides a partial list of network components and part numbers. Ready-made
cables are available in standard lengths from 3 feet to 75 feet.
For the most up-to-date list, call an authorized Xantrex dealer or visit the Outlet Store at

Network Layout
Each device on the network is linked with separate lengths of Xanbus cable, as shown in
Figure 3-3. This layout does not require network connectors.
Two terminators are required to ensure the communication signal quality on the network.
The Xanbus-enabled devices at each end of the chain must have a male terminator
inserted into their open network ports.
Advantage The advantage of this layout is that it is less expensive to install because
network connectors are not required.
Disadvantage The disadvantage of the daisy chain layout is that Xanbus-enabled
devices cannot be removed from the network without interrupting the network. To make
the network function after removing a device, you must connect the Xanbus-enabled
devices on either side of the missing device to each other or replace the device.
