 OSDP (RS-485) signaling requires two 2-conductor
cables. One cable for power (18 AWG) and one
cable for communication (24 AWG, shielded,
twisted pair).
 Wiegand or Clock/Data (TTL) signaling requires a
4-conductor cable (18 AWG, shielded) with additional
optional conductors for LED and beeper control.
CAUTION
Readers that require dierent voltage or have high
current requirements should be powered separately.
Refer to the reader manufacture specifications for
cabling requirements.
Note: For OSDP cable lengths greater than 200 ft
(61 m) or EMF interference, install 120Ω +/- 2Ω resistor
across RS-485 termination ends.
Note: Data 0 and Data 1 wires for Wiegand may be
reused for OSDP. However, standard Wiegand cable
may not meet RS-485 twisted pair recommendations.
The reuse of cable works best on shorter cable lengths
at lower data rates.
