Prepare Cables
1
Make Cable Connections
In Chapter 1, you determined the required lengths of trunk line and drop line
segments for your network. To cut these segments from reels of thick, thin and
flat cable, use a sharp cable cutter and provide sufficient length in each
segment to reduce tension at the connector.
Select an end of the cable segment that has been cleanly
TIP
cut. The positions of the color-coded conductors should
match the positions at the face of the connector.
Before beginning, make sure:
IMPORTANT
• the DeviceNet cable system is inactive
• all attached devices are turned off
• any attached power supply is turned off
• you follow the manufacturer's instructions for
stripping, crimping, and/or tightening
Adhere to the cable routing and spacing guidelines
