4.2 CNX Connector
CNX is the main connector of the Smart Console.
The layout is a female DA-15 connector and it belongs to the D-subminature
family of connectors for computer and communication system.
4 DA-15 connector has been chosen because it is widely available on the market.
Even if Zapi is always available to design custom cables, the customer is
encouraged to create its own cables depending on its need.
U The connector has two threaded nuts which accept screws on the male
connector. It is strongly recommended to lock the screws in order to
improve electrical connection quality and to avoid undesired
disconnections.
