Network Cable lengths
Per ODVA specifications, it is recommended that the maximum total cable run length be 100 meters or less. Typical cable lengths are 1 and 5 meters,
cables greater than 10 meters are available; however, proper care must be taken during installation. It is recommended that one uninterrupted piece
of cable is always used. Any extension to the existing cabling should be mounted in a junction box free of any other cabling, the cable should be a
twisted shielded pair with a braided shield. The shield should pass straight thru this enclosure and not tied to ground.

Note: The shield of the power supply cable is tied to the connector's coupling nut.
There is a ¼" terminal ground lug provided on the LDT's head / cover
assembly to help ensure a good ground. This lug should be tied to the
chassis of the machine. This ground is internally isolated from the LDT's
internal power supply.
Always observe proper grounding techniques such as single point
grounding and isolating high voltage (i.e. 120/240 VAC) from low voltage
(7-30 VDC cables).
