Siemens recommends using SIMATIC NET industrial Ethernet shielded cables for all
Ethernet ports.
1.5.1Protection 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.
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:
Cabling
Category
< 5NoNew wiring infrastructure required.
5YesVerify TIA/EIA-568-A compliance.
5eYes
6YesNo action required.
> 6YesConnector and wiring standards to be determined.
Follow these recommendations for copper data cabling in high electrical noise environments:
1000Base-
TX Compliant
Required Action
No action required. New installations should be designed with Category 5e or higher.
•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.
This chapter describes how to install the device, including mounting the device, connecting power, and connecting the device to the network.
