(6)Ground terminal of a coaxial cable

This device is used to prevent communication data errors that may be caused by electrical noise on a coaxial cable. There should only be one ground point on any single piece of coaxial cable. Provide class D grounding to connect this device.

(7)Transceiver cable

This cable is used to connect a transceiver to a node. The transceiver cable has a D-sub 15-pin AUI connector on both ends. The maximum length allowed is 50 m. However, we recommend keeping the cable length to 15 m or less to prevent problems from noise. Cables with a ground terminal must be grounded.
