Subject: How to connect Ethernet cable CAT7 Tough S/FTP LSHF-FR

Affected Systems:
VDR G4e

Introduction:
MacGregor has decided to use another type of cable connection as a second option.
The preferred cable and standard solution is the LEONI Ethernet-Link Cat5e (item code 1901030 ).
The LEONI cable allows cable length up to 60 meters.

The optionally solution Tough Cat 7 (item code 400214156 )is usable up to 40 meters only.

It’s using 4 pairs , Al-laminated plastic foil around each pair.

Cable connection to the VDR for Nemo 3.0 and Float Free Capsule Tron40VDR AIS Epirb

A. For connecting the Nemo 3.0 to the VDR use mainly the multi data cable (LEONIE) or
optional the DRAKA Tough Cat 7 S/FTP LSHF-FR.

The cable has 4 twisted pairs, in total 8 wires.

4 wires need to use for network connection,
and the other 4 wires need to use for
the 24V/DC power supply.

B. VDR connections of Tough Cat 7 network cable to LAN Adapter

The shield of the network cable must be connected to the grounded LAN Adapter.
Connect the cable to the corresponding ethernet unit according to the color code.

Ethernet
White / Orange (1) : TX+
Orange (2) : TX-
Green / White (3) : RX+
Green (6) : RX-

Power 24V DC
White Brown / Brown (5) : 24V
White Blue / Blue (8) : 0V

The wire pairs for network communication have to be

twisted as far as possible.

Cable connection to the Nemo 3.0

A. For opening the FRM NEMO 3.0 for plugging in the cable connection refer to the
FRM NEMO 3.0 User Manual chapter 4.4
For connecting the Multi Data Cable refer to the NEMO 3.0 user manual.

B. Led the cable head (internal connections of network cable) through the threaded
connection of the screw connection until the gray coating protrudes the screw connection
slightly (5mm) inside the Nemo foot.

Screw the union nut with the threaded

connection by means of an open-end wrench (24mm).

C. Connect the cable shield capacitively to the

Nemo foot inside the Nemo.

Put on the shielding clamp on the exposed

piece of the cable shield.

Make sure that the clamp does not have

short-circuit to the box.

Open the orange keys of the plug by means

of a small screwdriver.

Plug in the insulated wires without the wire end ferrules until the end.

Close the keys by means of the screwdriver.

E. Completely installed network cable in Nemo 3.0

F. For reclosing the electronic unit of the Nemo 3.0 refer to the

Cable connection to the FFC Tron40VDR AIS EPIRB

A. For connecting the Multi Data Cable refer to the VDR G4e Technical Manual.
B. In order to pull in the cable Tough Cat 7 into the FFC connection box, it is mandatory to
reduce the cable insertion to 13mm.
The reducer is already in place.

C. Led the cable head (internal connections of network cable) through the threaded
connection of the screw connection until the gray coating protrudes the screw connection
slightly (5mm) inside the FFC connection box.

Screw the union nut with the threaded

connection by means of an open-end wrench (24mm).
