Cables and Terminators
There are two main types of cabling you can use:  data-grade 
cable and microphone cable.  Although pin-compatible 
microphone cable is suitable for small-scale designs, data 
cable is recommended, especially for longer cable runs.  Data 
cable is designed to carry a higher-quality signal with less 
susceptibility to electromagnetic interference. 
The cable you use should have the characteristics listed 
below:
2-conductor twisted pair plus a shield
maximum capacitance between conductors - 30 pF/ft.
maximum capacitance between conductor and shield - 55 
pF/ft.
maximum resistance of 20 
Ω
/1000 ft.
nominal impedance 100–140 
Ω
22–24 AWG with insulation having a dielectric rating of 
300 volts or higher
Belden 9841 data-grade cabling meets specifications for EIA 
RS-485 applications and is highly recommended for use with 
Studio Color.
