APPENDIX B
CABLE RECOMMENDATIONS
The Patton NetLink E1™ Series has been performance tested by Patton
technicians using twisted-pair cable with the following characteristics:
To gain optimum performance from the Model 2707RC Series, please
keep the following guidelines in mind:
•
Always
use
twisted pair
wire—this is not an option.
• Use twisted pair wire with a capacitance of 20pf/ft or less.
• Avoid twisted pair wire thinner than 26 AWG (i.e. avoid AWG numbers
higher than 26).
• Use of twisted pair with a resistance greater than the above specifica-
tions may cause a reduction in maximum distance obtainable. Func-
tionality should not be affected.
• Many environmental factors can affect the maximum distance obtain-
able at a particular site.
