Cabling guidelines
The DC 5980P Conference Units are connected to the
CU 5905 Central Unit using Cat5e F/UTP or U/FTP
screened cables, however the following guidelines
has to be observed:
•
Maximum cable length in one chain is 150 m
(before inserting RP 6004 Repeater in a
chain). This includes interconnection cables
between the units. The maximum usable
cable length depends on the units connected
and length of feeding cables etc.
•
Cables must be AWG24 if the number of units
in the tables are to be used. AWG26 cables
will not allow as many units. DIS cables
series EC 6001‐xx are all AWG 26.
•
Maximum cable length in one chain when
using RP 6004 Repeaters and Cat5e cables is
450 m.
Although the ‘Chain’ output connectors have a 150 W
supply, this 150 W power is not all available with long
cables, as there will be a power drop in the feeding
cable from the CU 5905 Central Unit to the units
connected.
If the feeding cables are short and the cables between
the units are short, more units can be connected than
if the feeding cable is long and/or the cables are long
between the units.
Please consult the next sections for details about the
number of units, which can be connected depending
n the cable length.
