Preparing for installation
Cable routing guidelines
NN43021-310
Standard 06.01
6
Sending and receiving cables must be of equal lengths and as short as
possible.
7
In order to optimize network FIJI cabling, mount the NTD35 network
modules in pairs in the same column, one module on top of the other in
the middle tiers. The modules must be stacked in one contiguous
equipment bay. The longest FIJI cable (NTRC48FA) is 8 m (26 ft),
which is the maximum distance of the furthest network module from the
Core/Net modules.
8
The IPE modules can be located separately from the CPU and network
bay, by up to the maximum network cable length of 13.5 m (45 ft).
9
Core/network modules can also be on top of each other in the first and
second tier in multi-group systems.
A system layout, preconfigured at the factory, is included in the software box
with each system shipment. Before you route cables, see the "to-from" cable
connections in the system layout. Note that there are a variety of cable
lengths. Make sure you install the designated cable for each connection.
Because the cable troughs (see Figure 13 on
of each module are within the EMI shielding of the system, unshielded cables
can be routed in those areas. The corner vertical channels in the rear of the
module are outside of the EMI shield. Cables routed in the vertical channels
must be shielded, and must enter and exit the EMI-shielded area through I/O
panels and adapters.
