NXC-HE ICSHub Expander Card
The NXC-HE ICSHub Expander Card can be used as an ICS hub cable
extender where runs between ICS hubs are over 1,000 feet (304.8 m). The
NXC-HE Card can also be used in place of a Master card in a NXI (NetLinx
Integrated Controller) or NXF (CardFrame) to be used as slave devices. FIG. 6
shows its rear panel components.

Installation and Wiring
Mounting the Modules into an equipment rack
To install the Modules into an equipment rack, you'll need an optional AC-RK
Kit:
1. Remove the front faceplate from the Module to expose the mounting
holes.
2. Mount the module on the AC-RK bracket.
3. Place the AC-RK bracket (with the module) in the equipment rack and
secure the bracket to the rack.
4. Replace the front panel to the Module, and attach the magnetic, translu-
cent faceplate (if necessary).
Preparing/connecting captive wires
1. Strip 0.25 inch of wire insulation off all wires.
2. Insert each wire into the appropriate opening on the connector according
to the wiring diagrams and connector types described in this section.
• Do not tighten the screws excessively; doing so may strip the threads and
damage the connector.
ICSNet RJ-45 Connections/Wiring
The following table shows the pinouts, signals, and pairing information to use
for ICSNet RJ-45 connections. The ICSNet connections provide power and
data to ICSNet devices. Each port provides up to 500 mA of current.
ICSHub RJ-45 Connections/Wiring
Use CAT5 cables for all ICSHub connections.
Do not connect the last hub in a daisy-chain configuration into the first hub.
The following table shows the pinouts and signals for ICSHub RJ-45
connections.
