Cable Lengths and Hole Sizes

When selecting a cable, take care to choose one with enough length for easy routing to the NCR 7870. Also, include enough slack to allow the unit to be lifted from the cutout without disconnecting the cables. This will be beneficial while servicing the unit.

Minimum hole size data is provided for making openings to pass cables through the checkstand. Ensure after drilling that there are no sharp edges which may damage the cable.

The following charts provide cable length and hole size data for AC Power Cords, DC Power Cables, Interface Cables, and Remote Display Cables. The NCR 7870 can connect to any NCR Retail Terminal as well as many competitive host terminals so a comprehensive list of interface cables has been provided.
