CABLE LENGTHS
SGM offers 3 lengths of extension cable; 1m, 2.5m and 5m. However, it is possible to purchase a Custom Extension
Cable Kit in either 1m or 10m (1m: P/N 83062054, 10m P/N 83062055), and the Crimping tool for VP connectors(P/N
83062301), to make cables of any length. The cables have one moulded connector while the other end is ready to be
cut in the desired length. Note that only one cable can be made from each Custom Extension Cable Kit, and that
the Crimping tool is necessary to install the adapters.
1. Cut the cable in the desired length
2. Disasemble the X-lok connector and lead the cable through the seal cap (see figure 15).
3. Strip the cable with suitable tools. The exposed copper wire should be 9-11mm (see figure 16).
4. Mount the crimping pins and use the VP Crimping tool (see figure 17) to securely fasten them. The power
cables use AWG 16 pins while the data pins use AWG 26.
5. Insert the crimped pin in the clamp ring according to the illustration in figure 18.
