This machine interface cable is made for connecting SparkPNT FP hardware to your own power and data wiring. It provides a secure cable link for integrations where you need to route connections into custom hardware, terminals or enclosures.
One end uses a locking 5-pin Lemo-style connector that plugs into the SparkPNT FP device. The other end is terminated with four stripped bare wires, ready to solder, crimp or screw into your application.
The conductors are colour-coded for easier wiring: red for VIN, yellow for RX, white for TX and black for GND. At 1.5 metres long, it gives you useful slack for clean cable routing in surveyor and positioning setups.

- Wire gauge: 20 AWG
- Length: 1.5m (4.9ft)
- Connector: 5-pin Lemo Style Connector
- Bare wires: Red - VIN (6V-20V using the Lemo connector)
- Bare wires: Yellow - RX

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- AWG
- American Wire Gauge is a numbering system for wire thickness, where a lower number means a thicker wire. The AWG rating matters because thicker wire can usually carry more current with less voltage drop and heating.
- GND
- GND is the ground or reference connection (0 V) for a circuit. When connecting two devices together, their grounds must be joined so both agree on what counts as a low or high signal.
- RX
- RX means receive, usually showing data being received by the board. An RX indicator LED can help with troubleshooting USB or serial communication.
- TX
- TX means transmit, usually showing data being sent from the board. A TX indicator LED can help you see when the board is communicating or uploading code.
