FC Bus:
22 AWG Stranded, 3-Wire Twisted Shielded Cable
1
1. We strongly recommend 3-wire (for FC bus) and 4-wire, 2 twisted-pair (for SA bus), 22 AWG stranded, shielded cable. A 22 gauge cable
offers the best performance for various baud rates, cable distances, and number of trunk devices primarily due to lower conductor-to-
conductor capacitance. Shielded cable offers better overall electrical noise immunity than non-shielded cable. Observe the shield
grounding requirements.

SA Bus (Modular Jack):
26 AWG Solid 6-Wire, 3 Twisted-Pair Cable
2
2. We recommend 26 AWG solid, 6-wire (3 twisted pairs) cable as the best fit for fabricating modular cables with the modular jack housing
assembly. Be sure the cable you use fits the modular jack housing. The preassembled cables that are available from Anixter (Part No.
CBL-NETWORKxxx) use 24 gauge wire.
