Interface Cable Specifications

This section describes the specifications for each interface supported on the Eicon 1530.

If you plan to construct your own VHSI cables, be sure to observe the guidelines given below.

Wire Gauge, Grounding, and Pairing

Use 28 AWG 7-strand wire with 0.020-0.028" insulation.

The chassis must be grounded both by a drain wire and by the braid; both must be connected to the connector case and shell at each end of the cable. The braid must be connected through its full circumference.

Wires identified under the heading ‘Twisted Pairs’ must be paired. If you do not install twisted pairs correctly, the cable will not work.

Type of Connectors

The VHSI port accepts a high density 36-pin male cable connector. The types of connectors used on the interface-specific end of the cable are as follows:

V.35: Type M

V.24: DB25
