*1 Shielded twisted pair cable.
A straight/cross cable can be used.
Depending on the connection environment, communication errors may occur due to high-frequency noise
from devices other than programmable controllers. The following describes precautionary measures to be
taken on the FX5-ENET/IP to avoid the influence of high-frequency noise.
[Wiring]
• When wiring cables, do not bundle them together with or keep them in close proximity to the main circuit
lines or power cables.
• Place cables in a duct.
• Use STP cables in place of UTP cables.
Hub
When using hubs, use hubs that support the transmission speed of communications.
