Securing USB Extension Cable Using Cable Tie
When FC5A-D12K1E/S1E is installed in a control panel, it is possible to extend the USB Mini-B port of the PLC to the panel
surface using a USB extension cable (Note 1). When using the USB extension cable, it is recommended that the USB
extension cable is secured to the USB port cover of the PLC using a cable tie (Note 2) so that the USB extension cable does
not come loose from the USB port of the PLC. This section describes the procedure to secure the USB extension cable to
the USB port cover using the cable tie.
1.
Open the USB port cover and insert the USB extension cable into the
USB port.
2.
Pass a cable tie around the USB cable cover and the USB extension
cable, taking care to route the cable tie through the notches on the
USB cover.
3.
Insert the tip of the cable tie through the locking section to make a
loop. Tighten the loop until it is the suitable size and trim the excess
cable tie using wire cutters.
Note 1:
IDEC USB extension cable for USB Mini-B (HG9Z-XCE21) is recommended.
Note 2:
HellermanTyton cable tie T18R-1000 is recommended.
