# Connecting and powering the K-Box

The K-Box is powered via the CAN and power connectors. It has been designed with CiA® 102 pinout for the CAN bus and power to connect the device as easily as possible.

 Most commonly, it will be powered from a Rebel Logger using the Multi-Connect Cable, but you can also power it via pin 9 (4.5 to 36V) and pin-5 PowerGND of the nine-pin Sub-D connectors. If connected via the Multi-connect cable, the CAN 1 (MS) bus is also connected, allowing the logger to record the data transmitted from the K-Box.

Warning:

* Several K-Boxes can be daisy chained via the additional DB9 Connector; however, they must have power supplied separately via power breakout in the Cable, not via the Logger. It can also be used to connect other devices, such as the Rebel Dash.
