Recommended EtherCAT and EtherNet/IP Communications Cables

Use a straight STP (shielded twisted-pair) cable of category 5 or higher with double shielding (aluminum tape and braiding) for EtherCAT.
For EtherNet/IP, required specification for the communications cables varies depending on the baud rate.
For 100BASE-TX/10BASE-T, use a straight or cross STP (shielded twisted-pair) cable of category 5 or higher.
For 1000BASE-T, use a straight or cross STP cable of category 5e or higher with double shielding (aluminum tape and braiding).
