Manual iSense Lumen series

Cabling

When the number of gates and the number of Power Inserters is clear, the next step is to determine the

cabling to be used for the system. Depending on the technologies that are used, different cables are required.

The iSense Lumen series uses a daisy chain topology, which means that all devices are connected as a chain: a

 

cable from a Power Inserter OUT to a Renos unit IN, from that Renos unit OUT to the next Renos unit IN, etc.

Only RF

Ethernet cable between each unit and the Power Inserter

Only RFID

Ethernet cable between each unit and the Power Inserter

RFID Coaxial cable (included with the product) between each unit in the same group

Both RF and RFID

Ethernet cable between each unit and the Power Inserter

RFID Coaxial cable (included with the product) between each unit in the same group

If the system should be connected to the customer network or Device Management, there also needs to be an

Ethernet cable from the system to the customer network or a 3G/4G router.

Cable specifications - Ethernet cable

The iSense system only works reliable when the following unshielded twisted pair UTP cable is used:

Cat5e with stranded copper or solid copper core, with minimal 24AWG (0,51mm) core diameter. For

example: Belden 1583E. The maximum cable length for Cat5e is 75 meters / 250 ft.

For cable lengths above 75 meter between Renos unit(s) and power supply we recommend Cat6 cable

with stranded copper or solid copper core, diameter of 23AWG (0,57 mm) or 22AWG (0,64 mm). The

maximum cable length for Cat6 is 100 meters / 330 ft.

The use of CCA (copper cladded aluminium) or CCS/CCF (copper cladded steel) cable is not allowed. Please

note that the maximum cable lengths also apply when a Power Inserter is in between.

The EZ RJ45 connectors that are included in Renos products are suitable for the Cat5e cable with 24 AWG.

When Cat6 (23 / 22 AWG) cable is used, a suitable connector should be ordered, for example EZ-RJ45 CAT6

connector. Make sure to use the EZ-RJ Pro HD Crimp Tool, and change the blades frequently.

It is possible to use your own connectors. Make sure that the connectors are suitable for the cable, and the

right crimping tool for the connector that is used. Follow the recommendations of the cable manufacturer.

Local regulations may dictate the use of a specific cable type or rating.
