Expansion Bus
Cables
Expansion Modules (i.e. Port Modules and Multiplexer Interface
Modules) may be located further than the supplied 4-foot (1.2m) Host
Cable permits by using Expansion Bus Cables (EBCs). An EBC is
used in place of the Host Cable. As shown in Figure 1-5, a group of
four Expansion Modules are located 200 feet (61m) from the host
computer using an EBC. A typical application using EBCs is when
the host computer is located some distance away from the wiring
closet where all the peripheral cabling exists
EBCs are available in 25-foot (7.6m) (Equinox PN 690302) and 100-
foot (30.5m) (Equinox PN 690306) lengths.
Please refer to www.equinox.com for cabling alternatives.
