CABLE/NETWORK SWITCH REQUIREMENTS
A Cat5e/6/7 cable should meet the following requirements:
The pins are connected 1:1.
Caution: the cable pairs must be twisted to EIA/TIA- 568A (rare) or EIA/TIA-568 B (common) pairs.
Erroneous assignments cannot be found with a simple cable tester.
The pins for the green pair of wires are not adjacent to one other.
The cable must at the very least meet the CAT5 specifications and be suitable for Gigabit transmission.
The cable should meet one of the following standards: Class D ISO/IEC 11801:2002 or EN 50173-1:2002.
Schema EIA/TIA-568 B.
Use shielded installation cable with minimum cross section of 24 AWG throughout the total length.
The shield should be continuous and connected to both ends. A shielded patch cable is allowed for
connection to the device.
Schema EIA/TIA-568 B
Fiber Cables
Multi-Mode (Standard)
A Multi-mode fiber cable should meet the following requirements:
Maximum length should be 500m. The Arqa RX1/F and TX1/F include a fiber Multi-mode – SFP module
which allows a transmission distance of up to 500m.
Dedicated fiber connection cable type Duplex Multi-mode 50/125μ (OM2), LC connector.
