The onboard cabling network is necessary for information exchange between subsystems and the central computer, as well as for supplying power to the subsystems.
Satellite subsystems have several redundant connectors for connecting to the on-board network. Thus, the device connected to the on-board network is not only itself available for information exchange with it, but also provides the ability to connect through itself subsequent subsystems in the circuit.
The information network is built using the UniCAN protocol. For ease of installation, the power supply lines, and the information network are combined into one ribbon cable. Subsystems are connected through the IDC-10F (DS1016-10) connector on the ribbon cable side and IDC-10M (DS1013-10) connector on the instrument side. Since a different arrangement of the elements of the constructor is possible, the determination of the length of each cable, its configuration, and production is up to the user.
IDC-10F connector
A wide ribbon cable with IDC-14F (DS1016-14) connectors is used to connect the OBC with the camera adapter.
IDC-14F connector
A narrow ribbon cable with IDC-6F (DS1016-06) connectors is used to connect the OBC and HF.

Terminating resistor (terminator)
Terminator, an energy absorber matching device (usually a resistor) at the end of a long line, the resistance of which is equal to the characteristic impedance of this line. With regard to electronics, the word “terminator” is used mainly in computer jargon, synonymous with the expression “matched load”. The CAN bus is terminated with a 120 Ohm resistor.
