Extending the Cable
Watchport Sensor products, which are shipped
with a 6 foot cable, can be extended using a
CAT-5 twisted pair cable up to 500 feet for the
Watchport/A,
Watchport/H,
Watchport/P,
Watchport/D, and Watchport/T and up to 1000
feet for the Watchport/W. Contact Digi
International if you need to extend it beyond
these limits.
To extend your cable, we recommend that you
use CAT-5 twisted pair cable and follow the
wiring in Table 1. Your color assignment may
vary and you will need to adjust the tables
accordingly. Connect only the actively used
signals as indicated in the picture to the right.
Shortening the Cable
If you need to shorten the cable, cut off the RJ45
connector and crimp a new connector at the end
following the wiring in Table 2 (for all sensors).
