Technical Information Industrial Communication Protocol Cables Cross-Reference RS-485 cables are used extensively in industrial environments. Typical applications include process automation (chemicals, paper mills), factory automation, HVAC, security, motion control and motor controls. RS-485 network cables typically are either 24 AWG or 22 AWG. The final decision on the number of pairs, wire size, capacitance, impedance, shielding, and other electrical specifications is a function of the application. General Cable Corporation cannot specify a specific cable for these applications. General Cable Corporation offers different cable constructions to function in many RS-485 applications.
