6.13.2 Connecting network cables to X14/X15

Interference in data transmission due to unshielded power cables
If unshielded power cables are used, they generate an electromagnetic field during operation
which may induce interference in network cables during data transmission.
• When laying network cables without separating strip, observe a minimum clearance of
200 mm (8 in) to unshielded energy cables.
• When laying network cables with separating aluminum strip, observe a minimum
clearance of 100 mm (4 in) to unshielded energy cables.
• When laying network cables with separating steel strip, observe a minimum clearance of
50 mm (2 in) to unshielded energy cables.
Additionally required material (not included in the scope of delivery):
☐ One or two network cables
Procedure:
1. Plug the RJ45 plug of the network cable into the network port X14 or X15 until the RJ45 plug
snaps into place. The assignment of the network cables to the ports is not relevant, as the ports
constitute a switch function.
2. Connect the other end of the network cable to the SMA Speedwire device.

6.14 Connection to the Internet X16

6.14.1 Internet X16

You can connect an Internet router to network port X16. You can update the firmware of the
product and connected devices and monitor your system via Sunny Portal via an active Internet
connection.
