Spatial Requirements
The Micro 100-TX24 repeater’s dimensions are 3 inches (height) x 16.95 inches (width) x 14 inches (depth).
You can interconnect two Micro 100-TX24 repeaters. If there is not enough space to mount the repeaters in a single rack
or stack them on a single shelf, or if you want to place the repeaters in different locations, you can place them side by
side on separate shelves or in separate racks. See “Twisted-Pair (UTP) Wire Requirements” for more information.
Be sure to allow at least 2 inches (5.1 centimeters) on each side of the repeater for proper air circulation and cable
connections.
Twisted-Pair (UTP) Wire Requirements
The twisted-pair wiring you use to connect the repeater’s RJ-45 ports must meet the following minimum specifications
and requirements to ensure long-term reliability.
t
The wiring must be unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) Category 5.
t
Two pairs of the four-pair wiring are used for signalling.
t
Depending on building codes, different insulation materials may be required. Plenum-rated or TEFLON
®
-coated
wiring may be required in some areas.
t
The wire gauge should be between 18 and 26 AWG. (Most telephone installations use 24-gauge wiring.)
t
Solid copper
Installing New Wire
If you are installing the repeater where no wiring is present, or if existing wiring does not meet the above
specifications, install new wiring. The new wiring should conform to national and local electrical wiring code
requirements and meet the above specifications. When installing wire, it is a good idea to install extra pairs of wire
for future expansion.
If you are unfamiliar with wiring installation or the applicable local electrical wiring code or the 100BASE-TX
specification, you should have a professional, licensed (if applicable) installer perform the installation.
