CAN cable
Screened twisted-pair cables (2x2) with a characteristic impedance of between 108 and 132 Ohm is recommended for the CAN wiring. If the CAN transceiver’s reference potential (CAN ground) is not to be connected, the second pair of conductors can be omitted. (This is only recommended for networks of small physical size with a common power supply for all the participating devices).
ZB5200 CAN/DeviceNet Cable
The ZB5200 cable material corresponds to the DeviceNet specification, and is also suitable for CANopen systems. The ready-made ZK1052-xxxx-xxxx bus cables for the Fieldbus Box modules are made from this cable material. It has the following specification:
- 2 x 2 x 0.34 mm² (AWG 22) twisted pairs
- double screened - braided screen with filler strand
- characteristic impedance (1 MHz): 126 ohm
- Conductor resistance 54 Ohm/km
- sheath: grey PVC, outside diameter 7.3 mm
- printed with "InterlinkBT DeviceNet Type 572" as well as UL and CSA ratings
- stranded wire colours correspond to the DeviceNet specification
- UL recognized AWM Type 2476 rating
- CSA AWM I/II A/B 80°C 300V FT1
- corresponds to the DeviceNet "Thin Cable" specification
