Cables to be used for the battery system are typically referred to as NMEA 2000 or DeviceNet compatible
cables. The minimum requirements for cables are:

Twisted pair connected to pins 4 and 5 for communication with a minimum wire cross sectional area
2
of 0.2 mm (24 AWG).

Pair of conductors connected to pin 2 and 3 for power and HVIL with a minimum wire cross sectional
2
area of 0.34 mm

Cable with braided shielding connected to pin 1.
NOTICE:
Do not use sensor/actor cables. They often don't have any twisted pairs and are
therefore not suitable for this application.
