CABLE TYPES
- TWISTED PAIR Cable MUST be used to connect the LAN.
Multi-strand wire is preferred for terminating into the screw terminal connectors.
Two pair Telephone or LAN cable is suitable as it provides all 4 conductors required.
One pair for “A” & “B”, and the other for “POS” & “NEG”. Unshielded cable is quite acceptable, however, in situations
where electrical storms or high levels of electrical interference are a problem, shielded 2 pair cable may be used.
Examples of suitable 2 pair cables:
Unshielded. Figure 1. Shielded (All Multistrand) Figure 2.
Olex TJC590AA002 Olex JEIP87AA002 Belden 8723 * † 3 Pair.
Tycab TIC6105 † Tycab DPF4702 Tycab DQQ47025 * ‡ Multistrand (7/0.2).
MM MegaTwistpatch ‡ MM B2002CS Garland MCP-2S * Indivually screened pairs.

- If SHIELDED CABLE is used, DO NOT use the shield as a negative connection & do not allow the shield to make contact
with Negative, Ground, or any other wiring or metalwork within the system. Shields should only be terminated to a
Protective Earth at ONE END of the cable. ¶ See “System Earthing” below. If no suitable earth point is available at a
module location, the shield can be looped back to the shield of the previous length of cable. ·
- LAN POWER CABLING. Separate heavy duty Figure 8 cable ( 24 / 0.20 recommended) should also be run for “POS” &
“NEG” over longer distances if used for powering modules. e.g. LCD Terminals. Figure 3.

Remember to allow for any extra current required by Detectors, Auxiliaries, Readers, etc:
NOTE: Lock strikes must not be powered from the LAN.

SURGE PROTECTION.
- In multi-building installations and on longer cable runs, shielded cable may be used to provide added protection against
voltage surges.
- Each individual shield should be terminated to a Protective Earth point such as an earth stake, building earth (metal building
framework) or water pipe. ¶ It is very important to ensure that the shield makes no contact with Negative, Ground or any
other wiring within the system.
- LAN Isolator/s can also be included in a Surge protection scheme to electrically isolate different sections of the LAN at the
point where LAN cabling enters/exits each building, or on cable runs that are more exposed to voltage spikes or surges.
