Ethernet connector and cable
For the Ethernet connector and cable, Temaline recommends:
•
RJ45 male connector: Module plug assembly, 8 position, unshielded,
round cable, stranded wire, high performance.
•
Cable: APC CAT 5 UTP 4 PAIR, 24 AWG, no longer than 100 ft.
Input/output/RS485 wire
Input wires: Use a twisted pair cable for the contacts connections. AWG24
or AWG26 is recommended for the best wire recovery behind the reader.
The following table lists wire gauges and distances for inputs contacts.
