Some Suggested Cables
The following suggested cables are examples of some cables that can be used,
although not all are suitable in all applications (e.g. Unshielded telephone cable would
not be useful in noisy environments, but could be suitable for a short run indoors). It is
useful to keep in mind the environment in which the cable will be run and whether it
will be subjected to large amounts of electrical noise.
As with all of the recommendations in this document, cable selection is subject to the
laws and regulations of the local authorities and must be acceptable for the intended
application.
