Cable Construction Information
If you plan to construct your own VHSI cables, be sure to observe
the guidelines given below.
Wire Gauge, Grounding, and Pairing
• Use 28 AWG 7-strand wire with 0.020–0.028" insulation.
• The chassis must be grounded both by a drain wire and by the
braid; both must be connected to the connector case and shell
at each end of the cable. The braid must be connected through
its full circumference.
• Wires identified under the heading “Twisted Pairs” must be
paired. If you do not install twisted pairs correctly, the cable will
not work.
Type of Connectors
The VHSI port accepts a high density 36-pin male cable connector.
The types of connectors used on the interface-specific end of the
cable are as follows:
