The TFCABxxCAN01 cable is the ideal solution for data transmission on the CAN bus in drones with avionics that conform to the Pixhawk standard. The cable is manufactured to high performance and reliable connection and a twisted design that reduces internal cross-talk and minimizes coupling capacitance, ensuring a reliable and efficient transmission.
The cable utilizes the original JST-GH plastic connectors, ensuring a seamless connection between your drone's components. The used color scheme that corresponds to the ThunderFly color standard described in the documentation, you can easily identify the type of bus to expect in the cable, reducing the possibility of incorrect connection.
The wires are made of high-quality tinned copper wires with silicone insulation, ensuring high flexibility and mechanical durability of the resulting cable. The silicone wire is a 26AWG with an outer diameter of 1.0 mm and short-term high-temperature resistance up to 200 °C.
| Pin number | Color | Signal |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Red | VCC (5.4V) |
| 2 | White | CAN H |
| 3 | Yellow | CAN L |
| 4 | Black | GND |
Despite having the same type of connector and number of conductors, this cable is not recommended for use on the I2C bus. The I2C bus requires a different cable twisting that provides good resistance to EMI interference. The TFCABxxI2C01 cable is suitable for the I2C bus.
