CAUTION:
The power outlet must be a non-switched, three-pronged,
grounded outlet. Do not use a three-to-two pronged adapter at the outlet.
Doing so may result in electrical shock and/or damage to the repeater and
will void your warranty.
NOTE
: If the supplied power cord is lost or damaged, replace it with a power cord
of the same type, equal current rating, and required regulatory approvals to ensure
emissions compliance.
Spatial Requirements
The repeater's dimensions are 2.75 x 16.95x 14 inches, 7 x 43 x 35.5 cm
(HxWxD).
You can interconnect two repeaters. If there is not enough space to mount the
repeaters in a single rack or stack them on a single shelf, or if you want to
place the repeaters in different locations, you can place them on separate
shelves or in separate racks. See “Twisted-Pair (UTP) Wire Requirements” in
this chapter for more information.
Be sure to allow at least 2 inches (5.1 centimeters) on each side of the repeater
for proper air circulation and cable connections.
Twisted-Pair (UTP) Wire Requirements
The twisted-pair wiring you use to connect the repeater's RJ-45 ports must
meet the following minimum specifications and requirements to ensure long-
term reliability.
■
The wiring must be unshielded twisted-pair (UTP), Category 5 for
100Base-TX and Category 3, 4 or 5 for 10Base-T ports.
■
Two pairs of the four-pair wiring are used for signaling.
■
All eight wires in the RJ-45 jack must be connected to the pins for 100
Mb/s operation.
