CAN wire replacement?

[electrical238]

I need some help for Wiring the CAN on the robot for the new control system. Can you use a replacement wires for the CAN-Bus? What I have in mind is using a 22 gauge blue and yellow wire that we have a ton of because our CAN Wires that came with the Robo-Rio are too short. Is this Legal? or can I not do this. Thanks!

There are (currently) no color requirements for CAN bus wiring. (Q172 (https://frc-qa.usfirst.org/Question/178/do-we-need-to-use-the-green-yellow-twisted-cable-to-connect-the-can-parts-or-its-possible-to-use-any-other-cable-of-the-same-awg))

I usually just acquire 20 or 22 gauge green/yellow, and use a drill to quickly twist them.

Although the colors may not be required, we highly recommend following the green/yellow scheme for the following reasons.
-Makes robot inspection and troubleshooting easier.
-The colors will match what's labeled on the roboRIO CAN connector
-The colors will match what's labeled on the PDP/PCM Weidmuller connectors.
-The colors match the Talon SRX cable harness.

It all adds up to a better CAN bus experience.

Did you read the Talon SRX User's Guide?

Cool, I usually just Google "Talon SRX User's Guide".
But was it helpful in answer your questions about wiring?
