Recommended cable types
For serial port connections, the recommended cable is screened RS-485/Cat5e data cable with at least three
twisted pairs, such as DyNet-STP-CABLE-LSZH.

•
Use of STP (shielded) CAT5 stranded cable is recommended within the limitations outlined in the table.
•
Use of UTP (unshielded) CAT5 stranded cables is not recommended, however, may be allowed for short
runs of under 15 m (50 ft) where there is no risk of noise coupling. UTP cables must be installed in
grounded metal conduits if there is a risk of noise coupling from Mains and Class 1 cables (switched
power circuits, high-frequency power electronics devices, HVAC and motor drives, etc.).
Maximum number of devices on a single cable run
Distances over 300 meters (1000 ft), can be achieved with good quality industry standard cables, such as Belden
1502 or equivalent, only with very low or no DC load. CAT5e/6 has higher resistance. We recommend 300 m
(1000 ft), as a conservative limit for CAT5e/6 provided GND and +V use a twisted pair.
