When the cables go out-of-doors is mandatory to use shielded cables. The
cables’ shielding must be connected to the ground connector.
For internal wiring without shielded cables it is recommended an electrical
environment where the cables are well separated, even at short runs,
especially to the power cables or external cables which can be essentially
subjected to interference or lighting.
Use a twisted-pair cable for the contact cables. Make sure that the cables
correspond in size to the norms indicated in.
