Some practical recommendations for the type of cables that should be used are as follows:
- Distances ≤ 20 m – Standard parallel cable is acceptable
- Distances ≥ 20 m, ≤100 m – Twisted pair cable is necessary
- Distances ≥ 100 m – Screened twisted pair (STP) cable is necessary
- High level of interference – Screened twisted pair (STP) cable is necessary
- Distances ≤ 20 m – Standard parallel cable is acceptable
- Distances ≥ 20 m, ≤100 m – Twisted pair cable is necessary
- Distances ≥ 100 m – Screened twisted pair (STP) cable is necessary
- High level of interference – Screened twisted pair (STP) cable is necessary
