Cables; Glands - RADAC WaveGuide 5 Direction User Manual

Cables

When selecting a cable for use with a WaveGuide system, the following requirements must
be used:
• Two wires for power transmission. The choice of power supply will influence the
diameter and insulation thickness of those wires.
• Four wires for data transmission. The use of an Ethernet data connection necessitates
the use of four twisted-pair wires (22-24 [AWG] and minimum insulation thickness of
0.245 [mm]).
• The cable must be shielded and can have a maximum length of 80 [m].
Upon request, Radac can supply an optional cable that complies with the WaveGuide
system requirements for power and data transmission.
All connections to the instrument must be made with shielded cables with exception of
the power supply. The shielding must be grounded on both ends of the cable. For more
information regarding wiring and cable specifications.
