RS-485 Module Network

While RS-485 is quite a robust network solution, any data transmission can be affected by noise.

Cat5e and Cat6 data cables were not designed to be used in RS-485 networks. While it can be used, it is recommended that a cable specifically designed for RS-485 networks, such as Belden 9842 is used.

This is a Shielded, twisted pair, multicore cable. This is especially important for longer network runs, and in electrically noisy environments.
