5.2 Connecting devices with the DPRO Adapter
The DPRO Adapter can be connected to a Dante
TM
network via a standard 1 Gbit/s twisted-pair
Ethernet cable (CAT5e). This connection is responsible for the data transfer as well as for the power
supply. Depending on the cable length and shield, we do not recommend installing cables parallel
to power supply lines.
The
DPRO Adapter
requires a switch that supports PoE (48 V). If a switch without
PoE support is available, a PoE injector (compatible with 802.3af or 802.3at) must
be connected in series.
