Preparation for Connecting Network

Prepare the following devices.
Product name
Twisted-pair cable
(Cables with connectors
below are also allowed.)
RJ45 connector
Precautions for Correct Use
• The maximum cable length between connected nodes is 100 m. Note that some cables do not
guarantee 100 m. In general, if the conductors are strand wire, the transmission performance
will be lower than solid wire and the operation at 100-m distance cannot be guaranteed.
Confirm details with the cable manufacturer.
• When selecting connectors, check that the cables to be used conform to connectors. Items to
be checked include conductor size, conductor wire type (solid wire/twisted wire, 2/4 pairs), and
outer diameter.
Reference
We recommend cables with double, aluminum tape and braided shielding, taking noise
resistance into consideration.
