The cables between the sensors are straight modular cables with standard 6/6 modular plugs. Straight cables mean that for example the blue cable is connected to pin 1 in both connectors. These cables can also be supplied by Eltex. CAN bus termination For the CAN communication to work reliably the CAN bus needs to be terminated in both ends with a 120 Ohm Copyright ©... - Page 6 The end with the CAN interface is taken care of by the cable set described in Figure 1. But in the other end, in the last ETM-Solo sensor, a terminator is also needed. Eltex terminator plug, part no 75015, is a modular plug with built in terminating resistor.
