5.1 Cable selection
The CAN bus is a balanced (differential) 2-wire interface running over either a
Shielded Twisted Pair (STP), Un-shielded Twisted Pair (UTP), or Ribbon cable. The
CAN-L and CAN-H wire start on one end of the total CAN network that a terminator
resistor of 120 Ohm is connected between CAN-L and CAN-H. The cable is connected
from CAN node to CAN node, normally without or with short T connections. On the
other end of the cable again a 120Ω (Ohm) terminator resistor is connected between
the CAN lines.

How to decide a cable type, cable length, and terminal resistor depends on the
baud rate in the CAN BUS network, please refer to the following table.
