5.8.1 Cabling and Connection
Consoles can be connected to system using CAT5, CAT6 or CAT7 category cabling. Dedicated network is
recommended, but building general data cabling can be used also. Note! be sure not to use cables in use for Ethernet or
Intranet.
Network structure for Alpha Announce System Bus is bus-cabling from device to device, but star-cabling structure works
in normal case very well, unless cable total length does not exceed 1200m.
In normal installation System Bus feeds all needed power voltages to the unit; no external Power Supply is needed.
Anyhow, if many units with remarkably long cables are to be used, voltage drop measured from the end of the cable
should be noticed and examined.
