Observe the maximum cable lengths and the shielding types:
Cable length according to the data rate
The maximum possible cable length of the SSI connection is dependent on the used cable and the data
rate.
Table 7.5: SSI cable lengths according to the data rate
Connection Interface Max. cable length Shielding
BPS service USB 3 m Shielding absolutely
