What communications cable should be used with Feedback terminals?
4-wire FAMS networks: Screened twin twisted pair 22AWG Type 1 data cable (RS part no. 367-959) or Telephone cable, type: CW 1308 twin pair (RS part no. 368-413) 2-wire FAMS networks: Screened single twisted pair 22AWG Type 3 data cable (RS part no. 360-649) or Telephone cable, type: CW 1308 single pair (RS part no. 368-407) FACT networks: Belden 8451 – single pair 22AWG shielded (RS part no. 360-649) or Telephone cable, type: CW 1308 single pair (RS part no. 368-407) LAN networks: Due to the many variants involved in 10baseT and 10base2 networks, we do not recommend any specific cabling as this is dictated by the system requirements. However, RS once again supply a wide range of suitable cables. • What is the maximum recommended network length? The TOTAL length for a FACT network must not exceed 5kms. The total length for a FAMS network depends on the interface device being used. For a Network Interface (422-500) it is 5kms. However, if using a Terminal Server, it is 5kms per port and
