Extending cables
Cat 7 cables
Cat 7 cables should never be extended. They must be run in the appropriate length from product to product, from wall outlet to distribution frame
or from product to wall outlet.
HDMI cables
HDMI cables may be used up to 10 m / 33 ft. When longer HDMI cables are needed they must be of the active type or an HDMI extender may be
used (e.g. the recommended solution from Atlona; see
page 14
and
page 16
.
CAN bus cable for Floor Stand
The CAN bus cable for the floor stand with BeoVision 12-65 is 9.8 m / 32.2 ft long. If the cable between the BeoVision 12-65 and the BeoSystem
4 is longer, the CAN bus cable can be cut at an appropriate place, and extended by applying Network Link Product Cable; see
page 61,
(Cat 7
cable). The cables are assembled by two Power Link Junction Boxes (Bang & Olufsen Part No. 3132055).
The cabling is explained and illustrated in the following two scenarios:
- Hidden installation via wall outlet to the BeoSystem 4 placed in the Technical Room or similar cabinet, see
page 12
. The cables are connected
using the Power Link Junction Boxes.
- Visible installation using Cat 7. Cables are connected using the Power Link Junction Boxes, and run directly to the BeoSystem 4, see
page 13
.
Note: The maximum length of the Cat 7 cable, used to extend the 9.8 m/32.2 ft CAN bus cable, is 50 m/164 ft .
Note: To ensure correct quality of the signal and as little signal loss as possible, two wires of the Cat 7 cable is used per wire in the CAN cable; see
example
page 11
.
Wire connection
Ensure to match the same colours in both Power Link Junction Boxes; see illustrations below.
