Differences between Cables
There have been five different standard cables supplied with ComNav Vector G2 & G2B GPS
Compasses, across the three generations – three 15 metre cables, and two 30 metre cables.
The main difference between the various cables is in the colour-coding of the wires. The wire
colour codes depend on the cable’s “marking” number (which is in fact the Hemisphere GPS
part number) on the cable’s label. However, all cables of a given length have the same
ComNav part number, regardless of colour coding or marking.

Table 26 – Colour Coding of All Standard Cables
1 The Power Input & Ground (Red, Black) wires are 18 AWG; all the other insulated
wires are 24 AWG.
2 The Drain wire on the 2
nd
/3
rd
generation’s 30m cable is insulated with black heat-shrink.
3 Some of the signal descriptions apply only to the 2
nd
& 3
rd
generations; the alternate
signal listed in parentheses in those cases is for the first-generation only. The RS-232
Port B on the 1
st
generation only had the Tx signal. The RS-232 Secondary Port A
was useable only for special purposes.
