CAN-bus cables 
The CANopen DRP 301-1 profile recommends cables with the following 
properties/features:

(1) Recommended cable AC parameters: 120-Ω impedance and 5-ns/m specific line delay 
Bus termination 
In order to guarantee perfect operation of the CAN bus, bus terminating resistors 
must be provided at both ends of the bus cable (refer to Table 4-2). 
Ground connection 
Generally, the CAN ground can be connected. However, in completely electrically 
isolated CANopen networks the CAN connection does not have to be grounded.
