4.3.2 CAN cable and connector
There is no specific CAN connector: CAN signals can go through any type of
suitable connector.
Each customer must choose the best way to connect the Smart Console to its
truck: a dedicated connector, placed somewhere inside the truck, is the best
solution.
The customer must place it in an easily-accessible position inside the truck. A
bad placement will cause the operator to feel uncomfortable with the console
and, sooner or later, it will look for a different connection mean.
Zapi standard CAN cable and connector
Zapi has developed its “suggested” CAN cable based on the Deutsch DT 6pin
male connector.
The DT family of connector is well-known for its reliability and it is widely used in
industrial trucks.
This CAN cable has been designed with the assumption that power is taken
from the truck battery.

Customer-made CAN cable and connector
In section 3.4 customers, willing to create their own cable, will find information
about which signals must be routed to CNX.
Refer also to 4.2.2 for further information.
From the point of view of which cable and connector can be used it is not easy to
give any suggestion: chosen type can be different from one application to
another.
Connector choice must be made according to several possible requirements like:

Placement of CAN wires inside the truck

Placement of connector inside the truck

Preferred mode of operation: with or without internal batteries?

Size constraints

Availability

IP grade

Durability of connector
And many others.
The cable may be of the “coiled” type since it is easier to handle for the end user.
Straight wire can be used anyhow.
Shielded CAN cables should not be necessary.

4.3.3 Cable for console update
To update the Smart Console firmware the serial cable and an additional
interface cable are necessary.
The interface cable is not delivered together with the console but it can be
requested to Zapi when needed.
