AG-Star Connector and Cable Requirements

Custom cables for installing your AG-Star can be created using the following guidelines:
• Wire size: must be 0.5 mm-1.25 mm (20-16 AWG)
• Batt + connection must be protected by 5A fast blow fuse
• Serial data signals (TxD, RxD, signal ground) must be run in shielded cable.

Connect shields to ground at the AG-Star end only.
• CAN signal conductors must be twisted (40 twists/m, 12 twists/ft)
• Use only the recommended mating connectors listed below. Use only gold plated pins

Failure to observe the given cable construction guidelines in this section will result in damage to
the wiring (not covered by warranty).
The connector used in the AG-Star is an "AMPSEAL" dust and water sealed type produced by Tyco. The
