Ethernet cable recommendations:
Using Shielded CAT6 (STP, 24AWG or better) cable will ensure
maximum signal integrity plus optimum rejection of external interference.
Note 2- Unshielded CAT5e and CAT6 cables can be used with your
Octava system though they may result in limiting the maximum
attainable distance depending on quality of cable.
Cable Type
Note
1
Shielded(STP) CAT6 cable is
recommended. 24 AWG or better
Recommended
2
UTP CAT5e/CAT 6 cable
Acceptable. Note 2
Use EIA/TIA-568-B standard when terminating your LAN cables.
Ethernet cable installation recommendations:
Use your cable suppliers recommended RJ-45 connector/crimp tool
with your CAT5, CAT6 cables and ensure you pay particular attention
to the quality of the termination on all cables.
DO / Recommend
Use shielded CAT6a with good RJ-45 terminators
Use a direct cable connection between the Matrix and
Receiver unit.
DO NOT
Do Not connect thru Ethernet switches or routers
For optimum signal integrity avoid passing your signals
though any form of Patch-panel, wall-plate or punch-down
terminations
Do Not connect cables thru extraneous RJ-45 couplers,
wall plates.
Do Not tightly coil /loop the Ethernet cables
