CHAPTER 2: Introduction
4. What is the exact distance from each of those wall plates to the SOHO
Network Box?
5. Do I plan to use inbound video as well as outbound video?
Once you have answered these questions, you are ready to continue with the
installation. First, determine the ideal location for the main chassis. (For example,
you can have a main chassis in a garage or basement, and “sister” chassis boxes on
each floor.) Each media type (copper or RG6 coaxial) has a specified distance limit
beyond which the data will become distorted or lost. Your data connection (using a
copper connection) should not exceed 328 ft. (100 m). Your video connection
(using RG6 coaxial cable) should not exceed 100 ft. (30.5 m) total distance.
2.5 Sample Floorplan
To begin your installation, draw a sample floorplan like the one shown below.
Figure 2-1. Sample floorplan.
Choose a central location for your SOHO Network Box and measure the exact
distance of each run. A run is defined as the distance from an input device to an
output device at the other end (for example, a DVD to a TV). Unless you are using
a video booster, limit the total length of your coaxial cable run to 100 ft. (30.5 m)
or less. To determine the total length, measure the distance of the input device
that’s farthest away from the main chassis. Then add that distance to the distance
of the output device that’s farthest away from the main chassis. The result will be
the total distance of your coaxial cable run. Remember, this should be 100 ft.
(30.5 m) or shorter.
