Custom Length IO Blox Cables
The cables that connect power and communications from the host to the IO Blox and
between IO Blox devices can be ordered in a standard set of lengths. If there is a need for a
custom length cable, the following information describes the parts and method to build it.
Figure 3-5. IO Blox Cable Drawing
NOTE:
Use 20 AWG wire for cable lengths beyond 3 meters. Limit
individual cable lengths to 10 meters (using 20 AWG wire), and
cumulative total length (between all IO Blox devices) to 30 meters.
