Attach the Flat Media Cables
The KwikLink DeviceNet

flat media cable is a four-conductor cable.
It has a key design feature that allows it to “seat” in the cable base in
only one direction. Labels indicate which slot to use for the Auxiliary
Power and DeviceNet connection.
Follow these steps to attach the flat media cable:
End cap
30827-M
The cable must end between these two lines. The clear
end cap allows you to see the cable position.
Apply End cap before
you install cable.
Pass through
If a power cable
is not used, seal
the cable slots.
Place the two
end caps in the
slots to seal
them.
POWER
NETWORK
30829-M
41530
5. Snap the gray
DeviceNet cable into
the slot labeled
NETWORK.
POWER and NETWORK labels indicate Auxiliary
Power and DeviceNet cable placement.
End cap storage
(2 caps are provided)
1. Remove the end cap
covers from the storage
area. These are used to
cover the cables when
they end.
2. Apply an end cap to
cables that end at this
point in your network. End
caps cannot be applied
after the cables are
attached to the base.
3. Align the key features of
the cable and base. The cable
and cable slots are angled.
The cables can only be
placed in one direction.
4. Modules with outputs
require an Auxiliary Power
cable. If the module you use
has outputs, snap the black
power cable into the slot
labeled POWER. (not
applicable to the Starter Kits)
