2. SITE CONSIDERATIONS
The site for the StackMaster TX12 hub must provide:
•
AC power outlet for each hub
•
Adequate ventilation
•
Standard environmental conditions
•
Isolation from electrical noise, including radio transmitters
and broadband amplifiers, motors, high power electrical
lines, or fluorescent light fixtures.
Additionally:
•
The twisted pair cables should not run in the same conduit
with power line cables
•
Phone lines should be separated from data cables
•
Flat or “silver satin” wires should not be used.
And:
•
Since the StackMaster TX12 functions as an Ethernet
Repeater, the entire installation should comply with the IEEE
Ethernet 802.3 specification.
