Ethernet Communication Cables
WARNING: To avoid communication interference issues, do not install Ethernet
cables in the same conduit or cable tray with AC power wiring, motor
leads, or any other high potential switching currents.
To ensure reliable communications with the best performance possible, the cabling components used
must conform to US standard EIA/TIA 568 (T568A or T568B) or European standard EN50173-1 Class D.
Category 5 (CAT5 or preferably CAT5e) cable is recommended for Ethernet communications. The
maximum allowed channel length is 100 meters or 328 feet.
Either straight through or crossover (patch) cables may be used since the PowerStation will auto detect
and adjust to the type of cables used.
The cable must not be kinked or bent too tightly (the bend radius should be no less than four times the
outer diameter of the cable).
Either shielded or unshielded cables may be used. Consider using shielded cables in electrically noisy
environments. All shielded cables must be grounded for safety and effectiveness and a continuous shield
connection maintained from end to end. Ground loops may develop when there is more than one ground
connection and the difference in common mode voltage potential at these ground connections can
introduce noise into the cabling.
