NOTE: Although the required wire for IDNAC circuits is twisted pair (controlled impedance) wiring, in some applications it may be
advantageous to use existing wiring that is not twisted pair. This is only permitted if both conductors of the IDNAC circuit reside in the same
metal conduit, and only under certain conditions. Check with your local sales office before using any wiring that is not twisted pair.
