Shielded cables must be used.
The maximum baud rate depends on the cable length:
Cable length
2.5 m
5 m
10 m
15 m
30 m
Tab. 14 Relationship of cable length / baud rate
When preparing the cables, ensure that there is a low-resistance connection between
the cable shield and the connector casing (→ Chapter 5.3.2, 30).
