Note
A shielded twisted pair cable that meets at least the CAT 5e/CAT 6 specification is used to
connect the read head to the control panel. The maximum recommended cable length is 75 m
for CAT 5e and 55 m for CAT 6. Longer distances are possible provided that the respective
specifications are observed. The connection can be implemented with various cable types
available from Pepperl+Fuchs.
