In principle, data transmitting cables should be shielded in
case of RFI.
The following summarizes cable types and gives selection
guidance. Note that baud rate and maximum bus length are
related to each other.

Each end of the shield on the C-Bus should be connected to
the shield terminal of the respective device. Do not connect it
to the cabinet ground or any other ground points.
C-Bus Extension by Using Repeaters The C-Bus length can be extended by using repeaters. Each
repeater extends the bus length by 4000 ft (1200 m).
For the US the repeater is available either with or without
housing. In Europe, only the version with housing is allowed.

C-Bus Termination (Excel 600) The XC6010 CPU module may have either the XD505A or
the XD508 submodules mounted on them for C-Bus
communication. Table 18 provides baud rate information for
selecting the module.
The XD508 submodule is equipped with a DIP switch which
activates (ON position) deactivates (OFF position) a
terminating resistor. Depending on where the controller is
located on the bus the DIP switch settings must be as follows:

C-Bus Termination (Excel 500) The XC5010C CPU module contains a switch for setting
different C-Bus baud rates.

The bus termination switch for setting the baud rate has three
settings:

C-Bus Termination (Excel 500-XCL5010) The communication module for the XCL5010 is equipped with
a DIP switch for the C-Bus to set the bus termination
appropriate for the communication speed.
