CAN-bus cables
The CANopen DRP 301-1 profile recommends cables with the following
properties/features:

resistance
[Ω]
Baud rate
[kbit/s]
0 ... 40 70 0.25 ... 0.34 124 1000 at 40 m
40 ... 300 < 60 0.34 ... 0.6 150 ... 300 > 500 at 100 m
300 ... 600 < 40 0.5 ... 0.6 150 ... 300 > 100 at 500 m
600 ... 1000 < 26 0.75 ... 0.8 150 ... 300 > 50 at 1 km
(1) Recommended cable AC parameters: 120-Ω impedance and 5-ns/m specific line delay
Bus termination
In order to guarantee perfect operation of the CAN bus, bus terminating resistors
must be provided at both ends of the bus cable (refer to Table 4-2).
Ground connection
Generally, the CAN ground can be connected. However, in completely electrically
isolated CANopen networks the CAN connection does not have to be grounded.
