If the system should be connected to the customer network or Device Management, there also needs to be an
Ethernet cable from the system to the customer network or a 3G/4G router.
Ethernet cable
The maximum data communication length for an Ethernet cable is 100 meter (328 ft.). Therefore we
recommend the following maximum distances:
The maximum cable length in between two Renos units is 100 meter (328 ft.) - even if there is a Power
Inserter in between.
The maximum cable length from the Power Inserter to the last Renos unit powered by that Power
Inserter is also 100 meter (328 ft.)
When the cable lengths allow for it, we recommend to place the Power Inserter in the switch room. In
this way the customer only has to arrange an Ethernet outlet near the installation, and no power
sockets are needed. This could reduce the cost for installations significantly.
When a connection to the customer network is to be made for local access or Device Management, this
connection can be made from:
The customer network to the IN port of the Power Inserter.
The customer network to the OUT port of the last Renos unit in the chain.
The exact location needs to be configured during the configuration wizard.
Ethernet cable type
Please use Ethernet Cat. 5 cable or better with all 8 pairs connected.
RFID coaxial cable
The RFID coaxial cable that is supplied with the product has a length of 3.5 m (11.5 ft.). As the quality of this
cable strongly influences the performance of the system, the cable is supplied together with every FLR-line
gate from Nedap. It is not possible to use 3rd party cables.
RFID coaxial cable placement
It is only necessary to install the RFID coaxial cable between units in the same group. It is not
necessary to connect a RFID coaxial cable between groups.
