SICK recommends using shielded cable type A with following properties:
Table 17: Cable properties for the RS-485 interface
Surge impedance R
w
135...165 Ohm
Capacitance per unit length C' < 30 pF/m
Loop resistance R' 110 Ohm/km
Wire diameter d 0.64 mm
Wire cross-section q > 0.34 mm²
Shielded cable type A is a twisted two-wire cable.
