CAT6 and RS485 cables for communication

By |2021-09-22T08:19:57+05:30June 29th, 2020|

Basics A CAT6 cable can theoretically carry data for 100m but after 80m, there would be signal attenuation and it would be impractical. So 80m is the practical limit for CAT6 cables. An RS485 cable can carry data upto 4000ft (or 1.2km) @ 100kbps as shown below. If you need more information on the [...]

Can DC and AC cables run in the same conduit?

By |2020-06-29T11:58:08+05:30June 29th, 2020|

We have been asked a few times in the recent past as to whether we can run DC and AC cables run in the same conduit.The answer is No since the DC cables could induce a DC voltage onto the AC side. The AC sine wave should oscillate about the 0 volt axis i.e., the positive and negative [...]
