Xanbus cables
Each Xanbus-enabled device is connected by a Category 5 (CAT 5 or CAT 5e)
cable, a standard cable available from the manufacturer or any computer supply
store. The cable consists of eight conductors in four twisted pairs with an RJ45
modular connector wired to the T568A standard.
Network terminators
The Xanbus network must be properly terminated at each end to ensure the
communication signal quality on the network.
The Conext XW+ Inverter/Charger and other Xanbus-enabled devices ship with
one network terminator. Depending on your network layout, this terminator may
need to be removed from the XW+ Inverter/Charger and inserted into another
device elsewhere in the network.
Installing the Network
Figure 4-2 Xanbus Cable
Note: If the network is not properly terminated, signal quality is degraded and
performance on the network is reduced. Permanent configuration without
terminators is not supported.

Note: Installing and replacing Xanbus-enabled devices in an existing system
must be performed with the Conext XW+ Inver ter/Charger in standby mode. For
more information about standby mode, see the Conext System Control Panel
Owner’s Guide.
