Installing the MDU Cable
• Connects MDU to MAS.
MDU Cable Run
• Run direction
—
In most vehicles, the display unit is mounted in the dash area. Route the
cable from the MDU to the MAS with the coiled end of the cable at the MDU and the
uncoiled end routed to the MAS. If drilling is necessary, the 9-pin DSUB connector end of
the display cable requires a 1-1/2" hole.
• Routing location
—
Route the cable internally or externally.
- In a few vehicles, the display unit may be installed in the sleeper. In this case, route the
cable internally to this area.
• Cable dressing
—
For strain relief, the base of the coil should be secured with tie wraps.
The strain-relief tie wrap is normally positioned at the point where the cable transitions
from a straight cable to a coiled cable.
