Recommended twisted pair cables
The transmission of all signals of the
ControlCenter-Compact
system is carried out
through one twisted pair cable (category 5e or better).
The data transmission is reliable over a distance of at least 80 metres using a regular
standard twisted pair cable (category 5e or better).
The distance that can actually be bridged depends on the quality of the applied
cable. High-quality S-STP cables with an AWG22 wire gauge coding can bridge a
distance of up to 140 metres.
Patch cables with an AWG26 wire gauge coding can only bridge a maximum of 80
metres.
In order to ensure a reliable operation even in environments with interferences,
installation cables with at least AWG24 coding have to be used for lengths over 80
metres:
The following cables achieved the best results during test operation:
NOTE:
It is permitted to connect several segments of a cable connection with patch
panels and connection ports. It is, however, not permitted to connect active com-
ponents such as network switches, hubs or repeaters are not permitted.
