OrbComm Development Cable for ST9100

Access to ST 9100 Interfaces

The development cable connects directly to the ORBCOMM ST 9100 and provides access to its available serial, CAN bus, 1-Wire, power, and general-purpose input/output connections. ORBCOMM identifies ST101084-001 as the dedicated development cable for the ST 9100.

Development and Bench Testing

The cable is designed for engineering and integration work rather than a typical finished field installation. It allows developers to connect external sensors, controllers, computers, and test equipment while configuring software or evaluating the terminal’s available interfaces.

Common development connections include:

• Primary and auxiliary RS-232
• RS-485
• Two CAN bus interfaces
• 1-Wire data and common
• Digital inputs and outputs
• Multipurpose I/O connections
• External voltage and ground
• Panic-button input

Custom IoT Integration

The ST 9100 is a programmable satellite-cellular terminal used for remotely monitoring and controlling fixed or mobile assets. The development cable supports early-stage integration for transportation, utilities, maritime operations, oil and gas, and other industrial IoT applications requiring access to external equipment and sensors.

Power and Installation Considerations

The ST 9100 accepts 9 to 32 VDC input power. ORBCOMM specifies that an external 5 A slow-blow fuse must be installed in series with the external voltage connection. The cable should be used according to the ST 9100 hardware guide and the requirements of the connected development equipment.
