Appendix K: CAN Bus Wiring
The CAN bus should consist of a twisted pair trunk with 100R (0.25 watt)
terminating resistors at each end of the trunk.
The preferred cable for the trunk is 100R Data Cable but twisted 22# Tefzel is
usually OK.
The maximum length of the bus is 16 m (50 ft)
CAN Devices (such as MoTeC ACL, ADL2, BR2 etc) may be connected to the
trunk with up to 500 mm (20 in) of twisted wire.
