CoCon component properties

It is not possible to combine all CoCon components on the same branch because some units are powered over the CoCon cable, while others require external power.

In addition there is a difference in network speed for audio-only devices versus multimedia devices. As a consequence, three different categories of devices are possible that you cannot mix on the same branch.

The following tables list the properties of all components. Please note the different categories:

A branch cannot mix products with different network speeds. A single branch is restricted to components from one and the same category.
A branch can only contain units that are all powered over cable or that are all externally powered, not the combination of both.

Figure 1-23 Dos and don'ts of combining units

It is strongly recommended to only place CoCon Network Extenders in one branch, and not to mix them with uniCOS Multimedia units (although they belong to the same category).
