Site Wiring Distance and Interference Guidelines
This section offers site wiring guidelines for setting up the site plant wiring and cabling. When planning
the location of the new system, consider the following:

Electromagnetic Interference
Electromagnetic interference can occur between the field and the signals on the wires when the wires are
run for any significant distance. This fact has two implications for the construction of plant wiring:
•

Note
A good quality twisted pair cable or shielded twisted pair cable helps limit radiation and noise induced
into the cable minimizing:

Poor wiring practice can result in radio interference emanating from the plant wiring.
Strong EMI, especially when it is caused by lightning or radio transmitters, can destroy and/or cause
interference with the signal drivers and receivers in the Cisco 10720 Internet Router, and can create
an electrical hazard by conducting power surges through lines and into equipment.
To predict and remedy strong EMI, consult experts in radio frequency interference (RFI).
