Wiring for CC-Link communication
2.5.3 Connection cable and plug
In the CC-Link system, use CC-Link dedicated cables.
If the cable used is other than the CC-Link dedicated cable, the performance of the CC-Link system is not guaranteed.
For the specifications of the CC-Link dedicated cable, refer to the website of the CC-Link Partner Association.

1. Cut the sheath. 2. Separate shielding wires from the drain wire. Cut the shielding
wires.
3. Cut the aluminum tape and braid. 4. Straighten the drain wire and twist it from the root.
(Twist seven times or more per 3cm.)
REMARKS
y Where possible, round the cable tip that is cut off with a tool such as nippers. If the cable is not rounded, it may get caught in
the middle of a plug, without fully entering into the plug.
y If required, apply an insulation treatment to the shielding wire area where it is not covered by the one-touch communication
connector plug.
Note
y Do not push the plug cover onto the plug before inserting a cable. Once crimped, the plug cover cannot be reused.
REMARKS
y Insert the cable fully. Failure to do so may cause a crimping failure.
y A cable sometimes comes out of the head of the cover.
In that case, pull the cable a little so that the cable stays under the plug cover.
