cable
*1
PERIPHERAL cable
*1 Use the cable that meets the following conditions.
Diameter of lead: AWG26 or higher
Shield: Copper braid shield and drain wire, or copper braid shield and aluminium layered type shield
■Hub
Use hubs that meet all the conditions listed below. Operation is not guaranteed if the hubs do not meet these conditions.
• Compliance with the IEEE802.3 (1000BASE-T)
• Support of the auto MDI/MDI-X function
• Support of the auto negotiation function
• Switching hub (layer 2 switch)
*1 A repeater hub is not available.
Wiring of connector
Specialised tools are not required for wiring the external forced stop cable connector because plugs with spring connection
are used.
■Applicable wire size and wire fabrication
• Applicable wire size
The applicable wire size for external forced stop cable connector is shown below.
Connector
External forced stop cable connector
• Wire fabrication
Strip the wire according to stripped length indicated in the figure below.
Slide the sheath off the wire and gently twist and straighten the strands. When using the wire, be careful not to short with stray
strands entering the neighbouring poles. Do not use solder on the wire's core as this may lead to insufficient contact.

Approx.
8 mm (0.31 inch)
[Using a ferrule]
A ferrule can also be used to connect with the connector.
Use the ferrules in the table below for the external forced stop cable connector.
