Data Bus Physical Specifications and Cable Require-
ments
Cables composed of stranded conductors are preferred over solid conductors as stranded
conductor cable better resist breakage during pulling operations. Distech Controls strongly
recommends that the following data bus segment cable specifications be respected.
Shielded cable offers better overall electrical noise immunity than non-shielded cable.
Unshielded cable or cable of a different gauge may provide acceptable performance for
shorter data bus segments in environments with low ambient noise.
