Cable Types

The following data cable types are found in a typical installation.

  • Ethernet Cabling

    In the electrically active environments that MICROS hardware typically operates, we strongly recommend shielded Ethernet cabling and connection hardware.

    In electrically quiet environments, a certified UTP Category 6 or better cabling system and connection hardware is acceptable and does not void the hardware warranty. However, issues related to non-shielded cable may be subject to out-of-scope billing charges.

  • IDN Cabling

    For IDN cabling, shielded cables or non-shielded cables installed in a separate grounded ferrous metal conduit are required.
