AccelePort C/X and EPC/X Remote Cabling
AccelePort C/X and EPC/X Remote Cabling AccelePort C/X and EPC/X Remote Cabling

Application Notes: C/X and EPC/X Cabling Guide The following cable guides are only for use with plastic C/CONs.

RS422 Local Cable Configuration

Local Cabling requires the use of Shielded Cable (STP Cat 3 or higher is fine, UTP cable cannot be used reliably). Local cabling will not work reliably if it is run through patch panels. A direct cable run from server to concentrator is required. The cable is limited to 1000 feet, if you need a longer cable, a four-wire, half-speed cable is diagrammed in the C/Con manual.

The cable itself must be pinned as follows:

Digi Card	Host Adapter 
HD15 Male	HD15 Female

RxD -	1--------1  TxD -
RxD +	2--------2  TxD +
