A-4-4  Reducing Electrical Noise for External Wiring
Observe the following precautions when wiring communications cables.
• When multi-conductor signal cable is being used, avoid combining I/O wires and other control wires
in the same cable. 
• If wiring racks are parallel, allow at least 300 mm between them. 
• If the I/O wiring and power cables must be placed in the same duct, they must be shielded from each
other using grounded steel sheet metal.
