Ethernet cable

For connecting Ethernet devices, only use shielded Ethernet cables with a minimum specification of
category 5 (CAT5) according to EN 50173 and ISO/IEC 11801.
Wiring recommendations
Detailed recommendations for Ethernet wiring can be found in the documentation "Design
recommendations for EtherCAT/Ethernet infrastructure", which is available for download
Note
from http://www.beckhoff.de/.
Ethernet uses four cable wires for signal transmission. Due to automatic cable detection (auto-crossing)
symmetric (1:1) or cross-over cables can be used between Ethernet devices from BECKHOFF.
A selection of pre-configured cables (up to 10 m) and cables sold by the meter is provided below. Other
cables with various lengths will be found in the full Beckhoff catalogue, and under www.beckhoff.de.
