How close can power wires be to Talon CAN wires

[staplemonx]

I have heard that we should keep power cables separated from control and sensor wires as much as possible. So I am curious, with a bunch of Talons in close proximity connected with CAN how much space should we really have between the power cables and the CAN wires?

While it is always a good practice to route your signal wires separate from power, with CAN it really does not matter. That is one of its benefits.

We have actually taken testing as far as making several wraps of CAN cable around multiple CIM motors and the radio without any loss of data or signal integrity.

Thanks for the feedback.

Can the same be said for the Talon encoder wires?
