APPENDIX C
CABLE RECOMMENDATIONS
All Patton Electronics Company Short Range Modems are tested to the
distances published in our Catalogs and Specification Sheets on twisted-
pair cable with the following characteristics:
We fully expect that the Short Range Modems will operate on lines with
specifications different from those tested, but to reduce the potential diffi-
culties in the field, one should ensure that the cable being used has sim-
ilar or better characteristics (lower capacitance or lower resistance).
Wire with capacitance of 20pF/ft. or less is suitable for all our Short
Range Modems however, distances may vary from those published in
our catalog. Resistance will also affect distance but not functionality.
Wire should be 26 AWG (.4mm) or larger (smaller AWG#).
Patton products are designed to withstand normal environmental noise
and conditions however, other environmental factors too numerous to
discuss in this format may affect proper operation of the SRM’s.
Selection of the proper SRM for an application is critical to maintaining
Customer Satisfaction and should be taken seriously. Certain models are
better suited for particular applications and environments than others.
