3.5 D-sub Cable Assemblies
The Maestro features easy-to-use D-sub type connections for various cables. These cables are
available from Elmo. The instructions and diagrams below are designed to help customers
who wish to build their own cables.
ƒ Use 24, 26 or 28 AWG twisted-pair shielded cables (24 AWG cable is recommended). For
best results, the shield should have aluminum foil covered by copper braid.
ƒ Use only a D-sub connector with a metal housing.
ƒ Attach the braid shield tightly to the metal housing of the D-type connector.
ƒ On the device side, ground the shield.

Note: All D-sub type connectors used with the Maestro should be assembled in this way.
