Structuring the SDC 8000 system

Note!

In the following examples, the standard length of “3 m” is always given for the system cables between the conference consoles. However, it is no problem to use other cable lengths or cables of differing lengths within the same string.

To make sure that all consoles are supplied with a voltage of at least 30 V, please refer to the chapter “Determining maximum cable lengths” on page 40.

Expansion stage (1): one central unit with up to 15 consoles

In small conference systems (expansion stage 1), up to 15 conference and interpretation consoles can be interconnected in one string.

≤ 100 m	3 m		3 m	...
	1	2	3	15

The distance between the central unit and the first console must not exceed 100 m.

Expansion stage (2): one central unit with up to 90 consoles

In conference systems of expansion stage (2), up to six cable strings with up to 15 consoles each (6 x 15 = 90) can be connected to a single central unit. This is the maximum number of consoles that can be connected to a single central unit.
