NOTICE
Transmission problems
Routing over an active network component, such as an ethernet hub, switch, or router is not allowed.
Operation with several patch fields is possible.
Establish a point-to-point connection.
Avoid routing Cat X cables along power cables.
NOTICE
Exceeding the limit of the device class
The use of unshielded Cat X cables with higher electromagnetic emissions / radiation can exceed the limit
values for the specified device class.
Correctly install shielded Cat X cable throughout interconnection, to maintain regulatory EMC
compliance.
NOTICE
Exceeding limit values for electromagnetic radiation
The limit values for the electromagnetic radiation of the device are complied with if ferrites are mounted
on both sides of all Cat X cables near the device. With installed ferrites, the devices meet the EU
guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility. The operation of the devices without mounted ferrites leads
to a loss of conformity with the EU directives.
Mount ferrites on both sides of all Cat X cables near the device to maintain regulatory EMC
compliance.
Type of Interconnect Cable
The extender modules require interconnect cabling specified for Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T). The use
of solid core (AWG24), shielded, Cat 5e (or better) is recommended.
