2. Best Practices

It is always best to plan out your cabling before installation

to ensure that you have the proper cable lengths on hand

when you start installation of the TZ Centurion system. Plans

and cable requirements will differ significantly depending on

the layout of the system, infrastructure and type of cabinets

and doors.

Be aware that there are several different types of cabling and

communication protocols used in the TZ Centurion System.

To connect the TZ Centurion Bridge to the existing

network, standard straight through UTP CAT5e/6 with

RJ45 connectors is required. The TZ Centurion Bridge

communicates across the network via standard Ethernet

(802.3) protocol.

Cabling between the TZ Centurion Bridges, TZ Centurion

Port Links, TZ Radial devices, TZ SlideHandle devices

and TZ Centurion RFID / Wiegand Translator devices is

also via standard straight through UTP CAT5e/6 with RJ45

connectors. However, the TZ Centurion Bridge uses the

RS-485 serial protocol to communicate with the TZ Centurion

Port Links, TZ Radial devices, TZ SlideHandle devices and

TZ Centurion RFID / Wiegand devices.

It is common practice to use cabling of different colours

for different traffic in the data center. (blue = data, white

= VoIP, purple = 1GB backbone, etc.) The CAT5e/6 cable

between TZ devices and/or cabinet patch panels should be

differentiated by colour from the cabling carrying Ethernet

traffic in the data center or building.

As CAT5e/6 cables connecting TZ intelligent locks to TZ

Centurion Port Links may be routed inside a cabinet door

and be subjected to flexing as the door is opened and

closed. As such, it is recommended to use UTP Stranded

CAT5e/6, and that the cables be tucked away and well

secured to appropriate surfaces.

For cable used for infrastructure from a cabinet back to a

TZ Centurion Bridge it is recommended to use UTP Solid

CAT5e/6.

The maximum cable length from a TZ Centurion powered

devices (Bridge or Multi Port Link) to a TZ TZ SMArt locking

device is 100 m / 328 ft.

The Temperature, Humidity and Liquid sensors use 2 m /

6.6 ft. of standard 4-conductor cable that end in a terminal

block. This plugs into the TZ Centurion Port Links. If

necessary, the cable can be looped and secured or cut to

length if distances are shorter.

The door sensors for the TZ SlideHandle locks have a 1.2 m

/ 4 ft. length of 2 wire cabling attached to them. They may be

cut to length, as the cabling layout requires. Due to various

cabinet designs and materials, door sensor placements

have to be tested prior to final placement. Initial testing can

be done with a volt-ohm meter or the “continuity / beep”

function on a multi-meter. Final placement of the door

sensors should be confirmed with the TZ Centurion system

running to ensure that the contact closure is registering

properly with the software interface. See the TZ Sensor

manual for more detailed instructions.
