Recommended cable types
For serial port connections, the recommended cable is screened RS-485/Cat5e/6 data cable, such as
DyNet-STP-CABLE-LSZH.

We recommend maximum 300 m segments @ 9600bps for a spur with mixed topology. For long lengths up to
800 m and on trunks with up to 115 kbps speed, 120 Ohm, 2 W terminating resistors must be added on both ends
of the network (like in DMX512 case) and daisy chain is the only topology option.
Belden 1502 or equivalent, with low or no DC load on +V power wire, can achieve distances over 300 m (1000 ft).
CAT5e/6 has higher resistance, so we recommend 300 m (1000 ft) for those with 0.2 mm
conservative limit, provided GND and +V use a twisted pair in parallel as shown on drawings.
•
Other STP CAT5/6 cable types may be used, provided their specifications meet or exceed Dynalite
specifications and local Wiring Code requirements.
•
Use of UTP (unshielded) CAT5/6 cables is not recommended, however, may perform acceptably for short
runs of under 15 m (50 ft) where there is no risk of noise coupling.
UTP cables shall not be used in installations with capacitive sensing technology products (User Interfaces
with DACM), otherwise correct operation may not be achieved. UTP cables must be installed in grounded
metal conduits if there is a risk of noise coupling from Mains or UL Class 1 cables (switched power circuits,
high-frequency power electronics devices, HVAC, and motor drives, etc.).
If the installation conditions dictate use of UTP CAT5/6 cables (e.g., retrofit scenarios where existing
cabling is reused), it may require Proximity Sensing feature to be disabled on related products, with the
installer taking full responsibility for any related performance issues.
