Cables and Terminators
There are two main types of cabling you can use: data-grade
cable and microphone cable. Although pin-compatible
microphone cable is suitable for small-scale designs, data
cable is recommended, especially for longer cable runs. Data
cable is designed to carry a higher-quality signal with less
susceptibility to electromagnetic interference.
The cable you use should have the characteristics listed
below:
• 2-conductor twisted pair plus a shield
• maximum capacitance between conductors - 30 pF/ft.
• maximum capacitance between conductor and shield - 55
pF/ft.
• maximum resistance of 20
Ω
/1000 ft.
• nominal impedance 100–140
Ω
• 22–24 AWG with insulation having a dielectric rating of
300 volts or higher
Belden 9841 data-grade cabling meets specifications for EIA
RS-485 applications and is highly recommended for use with
Studio Color.
