Cable Requirements

SCANport cables are available in either Male to Male or Male to Female configurations. Cables of up to 10 meters (33 feet) can be connected from the SCANport device to the 1560-MBP. If a Port Expander is used, the cable length from the master to the Port Expander must be subtraced from the cable length used to connect the device to the expander (B1 + C = max 10 meters).

Generally when selecting a SCANport cable, the Male-Male configuration will be used. This is true in all cases when connecting to Ports 2 through 5. If connecting to the HIM port (Port 1) the Male-Female cable will be required.

Please verify with the Installation Manual for the A–B device the correct cable configuration. The following drawing, excerpted from A-B document 1203-5.2, is an example for a 1305 drive installation.
