1. Check with local regulatory agencies to determine installation
restrictions and cable requirements for the application before
starting cable runs.
2. Make the necessary cable "runs" and leave about two to three feet
at each end as a "service loop". When pulling CAT5e cable, do
NOT allow it to kink or the cable may break internally and cause
failures. Typical installations use Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)
but Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) may be required in areas of high
electrical noise equipment, such as generators, fans and fluorescent
lights. When cable has to be installed in the false ceilings or air
space above a work area (plenum), plenum cable may be required.
3. Even though the RJ45 connectors used to build ethernet cables are
typically the same for either end, the connector supplied in the kit
should be used on the instrument end.
4. If STP wire is needed, the RJ45 required for wire termination is
metal-jacketed. This special RJ45 provides a grounding point for
the cable’s shield. Only one end of the each cable should be
grounded. This provides the shield to block electrical noise from
entering the wire. Because the RS-485 hub uses grounded
connector housings, the hub end would be the best point for the
ground connection.
