List of MS70 cables
A set of cables is required to connect the MS70 units to each other, and to the relevant power source(s).
Cable Signal From/To Minimum requirements
C1 AC power cable From uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to AC power outlet 2 x 1.5 mm² + Ground
C2 AC power cable From display to uninterruptible power supply (UPS) 2 x 1.5 mm² + Ground
C3 AC power cable From Processor Unit to uninterruptible power supply (UPS) 2 x 1.5 mm² + Ground
C4 Computer cable From Processor Unit to keyboard  
C5 Computer cable From Processor Unit to mouse (or another similar device)  
C6 Ground cable From Processor Unit to vessel ground 1 x 6 mm²
C7 Video cable From Processor Unit to display  
This is a commercial cable. The display cable is often physically attached to the display, and terminated in the “computer end” with a male connector. If the cable is not attached, it is normally provided with the display.
C8 Ethernet cables From Processor Unit to Transceiver Unit CAT5-E STP (Shielded Twisted Pair)
Two Ethernet cables are required to provide the necessary bandwidth. It is very important that high quality Ethernet cables are used. You must use CAT-5E STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) quality or better. Using cables with lower bandwidth capacity will reduce the MS70 performance. Do not connect the Processor Unit to the Transceiver Unit using an existing local area network (LAN).
C9 Ethernet cables From Processor Unit to local area network (LAN) CAT5-E STP (Shielded Twisted Pair)
C10 Serial cable From Processor Unit to external device(s) 2 x 4 x 0.5 mm²
More than one serial line cable may be required to connect the Processor Unit to external devices. To identify these cables, use postfix letters. (C10A, C10B, C10C...).
C11-13 Not used    
C14 Ground cable From Power Supply Unit to vessel ground 1 x 6 mm²
C15 AC power cable From uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to AC power outlet 2 x 1.5 mm² + Ground
C16 Ethernet cable From Transceiver Unit to Power Supply Unit CAT5-E STP (Shielded Twisted Pair)
C17 DC power cable From Power Supply Unit to Transceiver Unit  
The cables are included in the MS70 delivery, and they are provided readily connected to the terminal blocks in the Power Supply Units. The cables must be run in steel conduits. The power cables can not be spliced. If the cables are too long, cut them down to a suitable length. If you wish to keep long cables, do not coil them.
C18 AC power cable From Power Supply Unit to uninterruptible power supply (UPS) 2 x 1.5 mm² + Ground
C19 AC power cable From Transceiver Unit to uninterruptible power supply (UPS) 2 x 1.5 mm² + Ground
C20 Ground cable From Transceiver Unit to vessel ground 1 x 6 mm²
C21-23 Not used    
C24 Transducer cables From Transceiver Unit to transducer  
The maximum length of the transducer cables is 30 meters, while the minimum length is 15 meters. The transducer cables can not be spliced. The required length of the cables to fit each specific installation must be determined before the transducer is ordered. If the transducer is installed in a drop keel, the transducer cables must be protected. Each cable must be fitted with a protective hose. The protective hose starts inside the transducer. Protection must be used along the entire length of the cables, and all the way up to where the cables penetrate the hull.
Comments
The MS70 is often a part of a project delivery. For such deliveries, specific project cable drawings are established to show all the main cables, and how the various products are connected. In such project cable drawings, the MS70 cables are identified as MS70/Cx.
