7.1 General Rules Note: esd only grants the compliance with directive 2004/108/EC, if the CAN wiring is carried out with at least single shielded twisted pair cables that match the requirements of ISO 11898-2.
If the used CAN interface is not equipped with an integrated CAN termination and it is at an ● end of the bus, use external termination plugs. 9-pin DSUB-termination connectors with male and female contacts and earth terminal are ● available as accessories.
