Category 5 rated cable is the specified and suggested cable for RS485 networking. Shielded category 5 cable may be best to use in electrically noisy environments, such as hospitals. Not all cable types are compatible for RS485 networks. It is highly recommended that technical support be contacted before any other type of cable is selected for the RS485 network.
