Cable Specifications
Thick Cable
This cable consists of two shielded pairs twisted on a common axis with a drain wire in the center covered with an
overall braid shield and is commonly used as trunkline when length is important.
The thick cable specified for DeviceNet network connections consists of:
• One twisted signal pair (#18): blue/white
• One twisted power pair (#15): black/red
• Separate aluminized mylar shields around power pair and signal pair
• Overall foil/braid shield with drain wire (#18): bare

used, for shorter distances, as trunkline.
The thin cable specified for DeviceNet network connections consists of:
• One twisted signal pair (#24): blue/white
• One twisted power pair (#22): black/red
• Separate aluminized mylar shields around power pair and signal pair
