• Shielded cable is not required for input or output
cables.
• Shielded cable is recommended for input
and output cables that are exposed to high
electromagnetic or radio frequency noise.
• Inputs/outputs with cables less than 30 m (100 ft)
typically do not require an offset in the software
setup. Cable runs over 30 m (100 ft) may require
an offset in the input/output software setup.
