Figure 8-4: E-QUE card splitter connection
Each antenna can handle up to five beltpacks simultaneously and switch service
between antennas under control of the matrix as the beltpack user moves
around the site.
The DC In power connector is used to locally power the transceiver/antenna with
the supplied universal power supply. Use of local power is always required when
the transceiver/antenna is connected directly to the E-QUE rear card (rather
than via a splitter), and may be required if the antenna is located more than 300
meters (925 feet) from a splitter. It is recommended even when the
transceiver/antenna is closer whenever it is available and convenient.
Transceiver/antennas can be located up to 1,000 meters (3,200 feet) using
24 AWG cable or up to 500 meters (1,600 feet) using 26 AWG cable over
CAT5 cable from the base station avoiding expensive RF cable.
Note: It is recommended that shielded CAT5 cable is used for all wireless installations.
Where multiple matrices are networked together with antennas or splitters
connected to E-QUE interface cards on more than one matrix the E-QUE
interfaces should have the DECT Sync links between matrices to ensure the
correct operation of the FreeSpeak/CellCom/ FreeSpeak II system.
Multiple E-QUE interface cards within a single matrix do not require external
DECT sync cables, connected as the signal uses the backplane.
