Installation Guide
Raven Series Category Cabling Guidelines
The Raven Series requires a minimum grade of Category 6a cabling to be used in order to reach 100m (330 ft) of
extension distance.
NOTE:
The total distance of 100m also includes the length of the patch cable should one be required. Up to 10m of
patch cable can be used, although the remaining 90m distance must consist of solid core premise cabling.
Furthermore, depending upon specific application requirements, it is recommended that installers keep in mind how
they intend to pull/route the link cable and whether to use Shielded or Foiled cable where appropriate.
When installing this product, it is appropriate to use Unshielded (UTP) cabling if the cable run installation meets the
following requirements:
`
The cable is not bundled with other cables
`
The cable is run loosely with other Category cables
`
The cable is not placed close to sources of interference such as power lines and radios
`
The cable is not looped or coiled
When installing this product, Foiled (FTP) or Shielded (STP) cabling must be used if the cable run installation requires
the following cable run installation:
`
The cable is bundled with other cables
`
The cable is run tight against other Category cables
`
The cable is placed near sources of interference like power lines and radios
`
The cable is looped or coiled
NOTE:
For best performance install Raven 3204C Pro using Shielded or Foiled CAT 6a/7 cable.
