Preparing Your Site
Before installing the Raven 3104 extender, you will need to prepare your site:
1.
Place the computer where desired and set it up.
2.
Ensure to locate your USB device(s) within the cable-length of the computer. If not, adjust the
location of your device(s) and/or computer accordingly.
If you are using surface cabling, the Raven 3104 supports a maximum distance of 100m. Install the CAT 6a/7 cabling as
desired and terminate it with the appropriate RJ45 ends. If using premise cabling, (in-building network infrastructure),
ensure your cabling is installed between the two locations and does not exceed 100m and that it meets CAT 6a/7
specification.
Cable installation is important, particularly if high throughput applications are used. When installing, ensure the cable is
installed away from, or isolated from potential sources of interference such as electrical wiring, fluorescent lighting, etc.
When terminating cables, ensure the matching RJ45 connector is used for the cable type. For example, if CAT 6a cable is
used, then CAT 6a compatible RJ45 connectors must be used. Otherwise, the benefits of using higher grade cabling may
not be realized.
