2.2.3 Network Cabling
The Local Unit and Remote Unit are interconnected by up to 100 meters of CAT5
Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cabling. The UTP cabling must have a straight-through
conductor configuration, with no crossovers, and must be terminated with 8-conductor
RJ45 connectors at both ends. The combined length of any patch cords using stranded
conductors must not exceed 10 meters.
NOTE
CAT5 UTP cabling is the standard data communications cable installed in most commercial and some residential buildings.
The cables used for “horizontal” circuits are of solid-conductor construction.
2.2.4 USB Cables
USB cables have two distinct connectors. The Type A connector is used to connect
the cable from a USB device to the Type A port on a computer or hub. The Type B
connector is used to attach the USB cable to a USB device.
2.2.5 Compatibility
The Remote Port USB complies with USB 2.0 specifications governing the design
of USB devices. However, Black Box does not guarantee that all USB devices are
compatible with the Remote Port USB.
