only guarantees the performance of the EtherCon
for 1000 mating cycles.
In order to provide a more reliable long-term solu-
tion, Lab.gruppen recommends the circular metal
push-pull connector from LEMO
®
. These connectors
are rated to withstand 5000 mating cycles, and are
available in both crimped and soldered versions.

In order to use the LEMO connector one
must use the following pin out. Pins 4 and
6 are “shifted”. If the connector is made
with a pin-to-pin wiring configuration, the
connection will work for 100BASE-TX, but not for
1000BASE-T.

6.1.3 Recommended network cabling:
Belden 1305a
Although Belden 1305A is a stranded-type
cable providing high resilience against failure
from repetitive bending or stressing, it ex-
hibits a loss of 26.4 dB instead of the 24
dB that is stated in the Cat-5e requirements. This
limits the recommended length to 90.9 m. Please
be aware that Lab.gruppen has not verified perfor-
mance at the maximum length.
Belden 1305a Cat-6 cable
4 pair / 8 conductor
•
Wire pairs are glued together to resist bend failure
•
Approved for both indoor and outdoor applications
•
Operating temperature of -20 C to +60 C
