2.2 Connecting the Remote Cable
The ME-RC comes with a remote cable to enable communication between
the inverter and the remote. The remote cable is a 50-foot, 4-conductor,
round twisted-pair, telephony standard with 6P4C (6-position/4-conductor)
connectors on each end. When the 6P4C connectors are held side by side with
both of the connector tabs facing the same way, the color of the conductors
in each connector is the opposite from top to bottom (see Figure 2-1).
Info: Twisted-pair cabling is a common form of wiring in which two
conductors are wound around each other for the purpose of cancel-
ling out electromagnetic interference (i.e., crosstalk).
Note: The remote cable can be extended up to a length of 200 feet without
data degradation.
