I have a question about signal integrity regarding a CAN cable routing.
I am routing a fairly long run with a few connectors and it is convenient to use 16awg for CAN Hi and Can Lo about half-way through the routing.
Component A ----20awg CAN Hi/Can Lo ---Connector 1
Connector 2 ---16awg Can Hi/Can Lo ---ComponentB
What kind of impact will this have on the signal strength? Let's assume the cable length isn't in question here.
In other words, what does increasing the wire awg mid way through a CAN bus do to the overall signal integrity?
Thanks in advance.
