#82266 - RS485 Cable
Responding to: ???'s previous message

I've found that CAT5 cable works well. Shielded is always a good idea - depends on the site specifics. If you're running down cable trays in an industrial installation - shielding would be almost mandatory. In a household installation, one could get away with using unshielded.

It is advisable to use a spare conductor as the 0V reference and the shield connects to equipment earth.

I understand CAT5 cable as being 4pair unshielded used for 10/100BaseT networks.
