Guidelines for Routing the Xanbus Cables
WARNING
XANBUS SHOCK HAZARD
Xanbus cables in contact with DC or AC power can transmit an electric shock. Do not route
the Xanbus cables in the same conduit or panel as the AC and DC power cabling.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment
damage.
To help ensure maximum performance of your network, follow these guidelines when
routing the Xanbus cables.
n Route the cables away from sharp edges that might damage the insulation. Avoid
sharp bends in the cable—no less than a 4-inch (100mm) radius.
n Allow at least 2 ¼ inches (57 mm) of space behind the wall to accommodate the
depth of the unit and allow room for the cables to bend.
n Allow for some slack in the cable tension.
n Keep the alignment of wire pairs inside the sheath as straight as possible.
n Allow separation between data and power cables (data cables should only cross over
a power cable at right angles).
n Avoid using metal cable staples. Use appropriate hardware fasteners to avoid
damage to the cable.
n Support horizontal cables using J hooks or cable trays.
The total length of the network, including all connected Xanbus-enabled devices and the
Conext XW Pro, cannot exceed 130 feet (40m).
