Crossing the 50-foot (15-meter) boundary will cause data corruption and system bus timing faults, regardless of cable shielding quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ3: Does this local receiver board require a standalone external 24V or 5V power supply feed?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA3: No external power wires are needed. The module draws its operating 5V DC supply directly from the backplane power supply unit installed in the expansion chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"General Electric","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51050831937668,"sku":"IC697BEM711N","price":114.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/7454\/7844\/files\/IC697BEM711N.jpg?v=1779374093","url":"https:\/\/www.etowonauto.com\/products\/ge-fanuc-ic697bem711n-series-90-70-bus-receiver-module","provider":"Etowon Auto","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
