Can I use a commercial LAN cable for the SX bus instead of the dedicated cable?

Can I use a commercial LAN cable for the SX bus instead of the dedicated cable?

Answer

No, you can't.
Although the connection of the sending/receiving wires of the SX bus cable is the same as that for a commercial LAN cable (cross), the dedicated cable uses unused pins to supply power to the SX bus (24 V DC).
Moreover, the cable is designed to be noise-resistant and highly reliable such as by having the connector shell (periphery) connected to a shielded cable.
