Ordering Signal Cables

You can order signal cables and connectors from IBM (through your IBM
marketing representative) or your place of purchase. You can also purchase the
cables and connectors from other suppliers. However, cables and connectors
acquired from suppliers other than IBM must conform to IBM specifications.
A signal cable connects the printer to other controllers or computers. The printer
does not come with a signal cable.
It is your responsibility to obtain, install, and maintain the signal cable. In
addition, it is your responsibility to be sure that the cabling meets the applicable
local, state, and federal building codes. The cables are available in bulk sizes or in
precut lengths. You can purchase components or preassembled cables from IBM.
Use the information in the following pages to order the correct cable.
Note: For additional information on cabling requirements, refer to the Guide to

Twinax Cables

For twinax-attached printers, you can connect more than one printer to the same
computer port to reduce your cable costs. A maximum of seven printers can be
cabled together this way on a single port. However, the total cable length on any
port cannot be longer than 1524 m (5000 ft).
A Twinaxial V-connector (IBM Part Number 38F8254) is provided with your printer
to allow cable-through capability and line termination. This connector also allows a
printer to be disconnected from the computer port without disturbing the
operation of other devices connected to the same port.
