Guidelines for Routing the Xantrex Xanbus Cables
To ensure maximum performance of your network, follow these
guidelines when routing the Xantrex Xanbus cables. Route the cables
before installing the Xantrex XW SCP.
• Route the cables away from sharp edges that might damage the
insulation. Avoid sharp bends in the cable—no less than a 100 mm
radius.
• Allow at least 57 mm of space behind the wall to accommodate the
depth of the unit and allow room for the cables to bend.
• Allow for some slack in the cable tension.
• Keep the alignment of wire pairs inside the sheath as straight
as possible.
• Allow separation between data and power cables (data cables
should only cross a power cable at right angles).
• Do not staple the cable with metal cable staples. Use appropriate
hardware fasteners to avoid damage to the cable.
The total length of the network, including all connected Xantrex Xanbus-
enabled devices and the Xantrex XW SCP, cannot exceed 40 m. Xantrex
Xanbus cables are available in lengths from 0.9 m to 22.9 m.

WARNING: Shock hazard
Do not route the Xantrex Xanbus cables in the same conduit or panel as
the AC and DC power cabling.
