3.1 CONNECTING THE TWISTED-PAIR LINE INTERFACE
The Model 2173 supports communication between two peer Ethernet
LAN sites over a distance of up to 5,500 ft (1.6 km) over 24 AWG
(0.5 mm) twisted-pair wire.
Note
Actual distance and link performance may vary depending on
the environment and type/gauge of wire used.
Follow the steps below to connect the Model 2173 CopperLINK Inter-
faces.
Note
The Model 2173 units work in pairs. One of the units must be
configured as a (L) Local unit, and the other unit must be config-
ured as a (R) Remote unit.
The Interconnecting cables shall be acceptable for
external use and shall be rated for the proper applica-
tion with respect to voltage, current, anticipated tem-
perature, flammability, and mechanical serviceability.
