19 Cables and Connectors

19.1 ComPorts

The cables used with FMS connectors are not supplied with the SMT300Q. You can
order them separately from Sundance with part number SMT500-FMSxx, where xx is
the cable length in centimetres.

19.2 Buffered ComPort Cabling

Connecting between buffered ComPorts requires a 1 to 1 cable; the SMT502-Buffer
is the recommended cable assembly and can be purchased separately.

7mm. Cable length should be as short as possible. The maximum tested cable length
is 1 meter.

On reset, each ComPort initialises to being either an input or an output.

Do not connect ‘Reset to Input’ ComPorts together.
Do not connect ‘Reset to Output’ ComPorts together.

important, as the critical signals must be paired with a ground as shown. The
allocation to twisted pairs is based on grouping the data signals because they change
at the same time, so that crosstalk is not an issue. Each control signal has its own
ground:
