5.2 Cable Requirements and Information on Cable Routing
The cable length and quality affect the signal strength in the Speedwire network. Therefore, it is
important to note the following information on cable routing.
Cable Requirements
If you do not wish to use the supplied network cable, observe the following cable requirements:
☐ For outdoor installation: UV-resistant
☐ Maximum cable length: 100 m
☐ Cross-section: at least 2 x 2 x 0.22 mm2 or at least 2 x 2 x 24 AWG
☐ Cable type: 100BaseTx, CAT5 with shielding S-UTP, F-UTP or higher
☐Type of plug: RJ45
SMA Solar Technology AG recommends the following cable types:
• For outdoor use: SMA COMCAB-OUTxxx*
• For indoor use: SMA COMCAB-INxxx*
The cables are available in the lengths xxx = 100 m, 200 m, 500 m, 1,000 m
Interference in data transmission due to AC cables
During operation, AC cables generate an electromagnetic field which may induce interference
in the Speedwire communication.
• Lay the network cables for Speedwire communication using suitable fastening material
and with a minimum clearance of 50 mm to the AC cables.

5.3 Installing the Speedwire Data Module
2. Insert two of the supplied spacers into the two
openings on the left-hand and right-hand sides
above the interface slot SIComSma (for position of
interface slot, see Section 5.1).
3. Position the pin header of the Speedwire data module on the interface slot SIComSma and
press on evenly, applying light pressure. This will prevent any damage to the contact pins in the
pin header of the Speedwire data module.
☑ The two spacers snap into place in the two spacer openings on the Speedwire data module.
4. Fasten the Speedwire data module on the spacer bolt using the supplied screw
(torque: 0.5 Nm).
