Consult with your system designer to determine what network components will be
needed for your specific installation. Table 3-3 provides a partial list of network
components and part numbers. Pre-made cables are available in standard lengths
from 3 feet to 75 feet.
Call your dealer or visit www.xantrex.com to purchase network components.

WARNING: Shock hazard
Do not route the network cables in the same conduit or panel as the AC and DC power
cabling.
To ensure maximum performance of your network, follow these guidelines when
routing the network cables. Route the cables before installing Xanbus-enabled
devices.
• Route the cables away from sharp edges that might damage the insulation.
Avoid sharp bends in the cable—no less than a 10 cm (4 inch) radius.
• Allow for some slack in the cable tension.
• Keep the alignment of wire pairs inside the sheath as straight as possible.
• Allow separation between data and power cables (data cables should only
cross a power cable at right angles).
• Do not staple the cable with metal cable staples. Use the appropriate hardware
fasteners to avoid damage to the cable.
CAUTION: Unpredictable device behavior
Do not connect one end of the network to the other to make a ring or loop.
