Topside cable plan
The topside/bridge cables include those used to connect the MS70 Processor Unit (computer) and the display to each other, to AC mains power, and to external devices. Two high capacity Ethernet cables connect the Processor Unit to the Transceiver Unit.

Cables identified with an asterisk (*) are system cables. These cables are supplied with the MS70 delivery.
It is very important that a high quality Ethernet cable is used. You must use CAT-5E STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) quality or better. Using a cable 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).
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...).
