Cabling
All components of the RFS are connected using standard CAT 5 cabling installed
in existing raceways or conduits when available. Use only RJ45 (T568B)
connectors for system components. The same is true for connecting the RFS to
the iDEN Interface and the Customer LAN.
in existing raceways or conduits when available. Use only RJ45 (T568B)
connectors for system components. The same is true for connecting the RFS to
the iDEN Interface and the Customer LAN.
If using a patch panel between RFS components, ensure the following:
•
Use only a CAT 5e- or CAT 6-rated patch panel.
•
Follow all TIA 568B standards.
•
Total impedance, end to end, cannot exceed 8 ohms.
•
Use only CAT 5e or CAT 6 wiring.
Maximum length between RFS components shall not exceed 328’ (100 meters).
A Universal Repeater Unit (URU) can be installed to extend the distance
between any two RFS components to 656’ (200 meters).
between any two RFS components to 656’ (200 meters).
Up to 2 URUs can be used between any two RFS components to extend the
distance to 984’ (300 meters).
distance to 984’ (300 meters).
The maximum DC resistance allowed cannot exceed 26.2 Ohms per 1000 feet.
Use plenum rated cable if the cable traverses through a plenum (open air) space.
The proper installation of computer network cabling is critical to the safe and
reliable operation of the computer network. It is recommended that standards
developed by the Telecommunications Industry Association/Electronic Industries
Association (TIA/EIA) and the Canadian equivalent (or equivalent standards in
other countries) be followed. Applicable NFPA codes, local electrical codes, local
building codes and other standards in this manual shall also

be
conformed to
when installing computer network cabling.
NOTE: It is recommended that a specialist in the installation of computer
networks perform computer network cable installations. The
