1.1.3 Wiring Specifications
To avoid induced noise (transfer of electrical energy from one wire to another), keep input wiring
isolated from high-current output and power wiring. Avoid pulling one multiconductor cable for
the entire panel. Power-limited, nonpower-limited, and audio circuit wiring must remain separated
in the cabinet. Maintain at least 0.25” (6.35 mm) spacing. Power-limited, nonpower-limited, and
audio circuit wiring must enter and exit the cabinet through different knockouts and/or conduits.
For the same reasons, wiring within the cabinet should be routed around the perimeter of the cabi-
net. It should not cross the printed circuit board where it could induce noise into the sensitive
microelectronics or pick up unwanted RF noise from the high speed circuits.
High frequency noise, such as that produced by the inductive reactance of a speaker or bell, can
also be reduced by running the wire through ferrite beads or by wrapping it around a ferrite toroid
core. Figure 1.3 provides an example.
