There were specific rules regarding the wire gauge of wire used for sensors this year. Are you sure your Cat 5 complies with them?

[mechanicalbrain]

Yeah I believe Cat5e is 23 gauge (or is that Cat6?)

Yeah I believe Cat5e is 23 gauge (or is that Cat6?)
Cat5E is 24AWG, and Cat6 is 23AWG

You can find it at Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_5e).

Yeah, the cable says 24awg on it, and according to this rule that is the perfect number (I was sweating there for a second...)

<R85> You must use 24 AWG or larger diameter wire for connecting sensors such as: switches, potentiometers,
accelerometers, and other sensors. You must use 24 AWG or larger diameter wire for connecting a Vision
System to Robot Controller inputs, and for extending the PWM cables, for the small muffin fans, or for
wiring LEDs. It is acceptable to use ribbon cable smaller than 24 AWG to connect to the 9 pin ports on the
Robot Controller.
