4.4 Cable Requirements for LON Type Option Boards
Up to 64 FTT-10 transceiver nodes are allowed per network segment. Individual segments can be connected together with a router.
See the following table for cable types and cable lengths recommended for FTT-10.
Even if unshielded cable types are recommended to be used with this type of transceiver, it is still highly recommended to use only
shielded cables with AC drives. To ensure bus operation, pay attention to proper grounding of the shield. Minimum cable length of
1 meter between two stations is recommended. For LonWorks, use, for example, the cables listed in the following table.

4.5 Fieldbus Connectors
Option boards use two types of connectors. Either 5-pin screw connector or 9-pin Sub-D9 connector. The only exception is the
OPTC4 option board which uses 3-pin screw connector.
For PROFIBUS DP, the following connectors can be used (180° cable outlet):
