Using a Cat-5 Extender
The Cat-5 Extender (PN #UNS-EX170-1)** increases the maximum length of the
Cat-5E/6 ScTP cable run that connects the Expansion Hub to the RAU from 100
meters to 170 meters. The minimum cable length between the Hub and Extender is 90
meters and the minimum length between the Extender and RAU is 20 meters. Beyond
the minimum lengths, an additional 60 meters of cable, maximum of 170 meters total,
can be inserted before or after the Extender.
Table 7-8 shows the minimum and maximum cable lengths that must be met:
