INFORMATION RELEASE AB192
CABLE SPECIFICATIONS
The EDP Cable Specifications Manual has been updated and issued as Revision 4.
Please note that all the Cable Types from GA to GO are now obsolete, and have been replaced with different specifications as Cable Type HA to HZ. All new cable specifications are effective from 26th April 1999.
Sites with existing Cable Type GA to GO can continue to have new Cable Type GA to GO added.
New sites and those that are to be rewired should utilise Cable Type HA to HZ, rather than the obsolete Cable Type GA to GO.
On no account should Cable Type GA to GZ and Cable Type HA to HZ be mixed or used on the same system.
In the typical cable specification shown above, the System side cable and the
peripheral side cable MUST both be Type GY or both be HY.
BEWARE
GY and HY cables MUST NOT be used on
the same system.
They are incompatable!
