Ethernet cables
For connecting Ethernet devices only shielded Ethernet cables that meet the requirements of at least category 5
(CAt5) according to EN 50173 or ISO/IEC 11801 should be used.
Recommendations about cabling
Note
You may get detailed recommendations about cabling Ethernet from the documentation
"Recommendations for the design of the infrastructure for EtherCAT/Ethernet", that is
available for download at www.Beckhoff.com.
Ethernet uses 4 wires for signal transfer. 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 cables for Ethernet (her only up to 10m) follows. Other cables with various lengths will be found in the
full Beckhoff catalogue, and under www.beckhoff.com.
