  • Page 13 Twisted-Pair Cable Caution: Careful selection of the proper cable is essential to obtain the best performance from this equipment. Vicon assumes no responsibility for poor performance when cables other than those recommended are installed. Materials Use a pure copper stranded conductor with or without a tin plating to obtain a low DC resistance. Do not use cable with either a steel or an aluminum stranded conductor because these do not transfer signals effective ly for long distances.
