LonWorks FT-10 Wiring Recommendations

The standard for Echelon
wiring is NEMA Level 4 Cable (NOT to be confused with Category
4). For the TP/FT-10 channel operating in free topology, the maximum length of
Level 4 22AWG (0.65mm) cabling is 500 meters (1,640 feet) maximum total wire
length (400 meters maximum node-to-node distance). For installations here at ENE
systems we do not exceed 1,500 feet total wire length and no
more than 750 feet between nodes.
Here are the cables types
that we use. We like to use GREEN cable, so that it is easy to find once
installed.
