2.3.1.3.2 CAN Bus Wiring
Wiring used for the CAN bus should be shielded twisted-pair cable, MIL-C-27500 or equivalent. 22 AWG
or larger wire is recommended for physical robustness and ease of installation. While not required, it is
recommended to use one of the following 2 options for CAN wire, especially if the CAN bus length is on
the upper end of the maximum 66 foot bus length:
CAN Bus Wire, 120Ω:

The shields for each CAN bus wire segment should be interconnected, forming a continuously connected
shield from one end of the CAN bus to the other (Figure 2-9
and Section 2.3.1.3.2). At minimum, the CAN
bus shield should always be grounded to the device connector backshells at the two extreme ends of the
bus, but it is acceptable to also ground the shield at any or all other devices on the CAN bus.
