Cable requirements
Televic advises to use minimum CAT 5e F/UTP 23 AWG for run cables and CAT 5e F/UTP 24 AWG patch cables.
Televic strongly advises that cables for all video-enabled products are created in loop.
Please follow the cable guidelines described here, they are important to guarantee correct system performance.
- Keep all cable runs under 90% of the maximum distance supported for each media type as specified in the relevant standard. This extra headroom is for the additional patch cables that will be included in the end-to-end connection.
- Always use the same type of cable (except AWG) in the end-to-end connection.
- Cabling installations and components should be compliant with the ISO/IEC 11801 standard.
- Do not stress the cable by doing any of the following
- Applying additional twists
- Pulling or stretching beyond its specified pulling load rating
- Bending it beyond its specified bend radius
- Creating tension in suspended runs
- Stapling or applying pressure with cable ties
- Avoid placing copper cables near equipment that can generate high levels of electromagnetic interference. Generally avoid locations near power cords, fluorescent lights, building electrical cables and fire-prevention components.
- Use the CoCon Power Calculator to ensure sufficient power for all units in the network.
