Cabling Recommendations
Before connecting the device, be aware of the recommendations and considerations outlined in this section.
CONTENTS
• Section1.4.1, “Protection On Twisted-Pair Data Ports”
All copper Ethernet ports on RUGGEDCOM products include transient suppression circuitry to protect against
damage from electrical transients and conform with IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613 Class 1 standards. This means
that during a transient electrical event, communications errors or interruptions may occur, but recovery is
automatic.
4Required Tools and Materials
Page 15
RUGGEDCOM MX5000
Installation Guide
Siemens also does not recommend using copper Ethernet ports to interface with devices in the field across
distances that could produce high levels of ground potential rise (i.e. greater than 2500 V), during line-to-ground
fault conditions.
The IEEE 802.3ab Gigabit Ethernet standard defines 1000 Mbit/s Ethernet communications over distances of up
to 100 m (328 ft) using all 4 pairs in category 5 (or higher) balanced, unshielded twisted-pair cabling. For wiring
guidelines, system designers and integrators should refer to the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA)
TIA/EIA-568-A wiring standard that characterizes minimum cabling performance specifications required for proper
Gigabit Ethernet operation. For reliable, error-free data communication, new and pre-existing communication
paths should be verified for TIA/EIA-568-A compliance.
The following table summarizes the relevant cabling standards:

Required Action
Follow these recommendations for copper data cabling in high electrical noise environments:
• Data cable lengths should be as short as possible, preferably 3 m (10 ft) in length. Copper data cables should
not be used for inter-building communications.
• Power and data cables should not be run in parallel for long distances, and should be installed in separate
conduits. Power and data cables should intersect at 90° angles when necessary to reduce inductive coupling.
• Shielded/screened cabling can be used when required. Care should be taken to avoid the creation of ground
loops with shielded cabling.
Section1.4.3
