Blunt Cut Cable

 

This cable connects the ST terminal to external I/O lines and serial ports. There are 10 pins on this blunt cut 
cable; two connect the terminal to an RS-232 console serial port or an RS-485, four wires to connect to external 
I/O lines, and one each for ground and voltage. The cable has an over-molded connector, a floating drain wire 
and is available in two models, either terminated or unterminated to ground.
