General guidelines
Connect the PS 6000 to the various DCS 6000 units using Cat5 or Cat5e FTP or STP screened cables. Please observe the following guidelines:
∙Maximum cable length in one chain is 200 m without repeater. This includes interconnection cables between the units. The max. usable cable length depends on the units connected and length of feeding cables etc.
∙Maximum cable length in one chain when using repeaters is 650 m.
∙Although the output on the PS 6000 have a 125W supply, this 125W power is not all usable with long cables, as there will be a voltage drop in the feeding cable from the PS 6000 to the units connected. If the feeding cables are short and the cables
between the units are short, more units can be connected than if the feeding cable is long and/or the cables are long between the units. Please consult the next section (Max. Number of units to be connected)
∙If the last unit in one chain is a CS 6032 Channel Selector, this unit has to be terminated with an external termination, as the CS 6032 does not have an internal termination.
It is desirable that the square of the feeding cables especially, but also the interconnection cables are as big as possible to minimize the voltage drop in the cables. Cat 5/Cat5E cables are delivered in various gauges:
