Multi-Function Cable Box (MFCB)
The cable box routes power to the SST transmitter and the remote display and sends transmitter data to
the remote and the computer laptop. It is installed between the DC power port on the back of the remote
display and a DC power source.
Cable Box with Power Supply and Remote Display Cables
A special power cable is provided for use with a panel-mounted MFD
remote. This cable plugs into the back of the MFD and the other end
connects to the cable box.
The white wire from the SST transmitter connects to the power post on
the cable box. The laptop computer is connected to the serial port on
the cable box. When connected, real-time data can be viewed at the
computer, and data points can be logged by the computer operator. The
SST software allows for viewing, logging, editing, graphing, saving, and
printing of the drill data. See the
LWD Software Instructions
section for
more information.
Complete information and procedures for setting up the SST system
and connecting the system components is given in the
