CAN Cable Troubleshooting 101

It is crucial for installers who need to fabricate their own CAN cables to test them with a data cable tester before completinginstallation. This step is essential to avoid damaging the EMS and to guarantee optimal performance. Should you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact us at any time.

If you are getting errors about your CAN communication, we recommend starting with a visual inspection. 

Here is the wiring according to the 568B standard for the RJ45 connector. It is good to verify everything is in the correct position, not hanging loose or damaged/knicked, and generally well seated.  If it clears visual inspection, it is always recommended to utilize your data cable tester.
