beltpacks can have continuous coverage. The use of the splitter also extends the distance that
the transceivers can be located from the matrix to 1600 metres (5250 feet) if 24AWG cable is
used or 800 metres (2625 feet) if 26AWG cable is used (assuming the same cable type is used
to connect the transceiver to the splitter and the splitter to the matrix).
Note: It is recommended that shielded CAT-5 cable or better is used.
For example, a splitter can be used to connect to a matrix that is located in a production truck
outside an arena or stadium, with a single CAT-5 cable going to the splitter which is then located
just inside the stadium. From that splitter, up to five transceivers are distributed throughout the
stadium to create wide coverage – each with a run of CAT-5 cable back to the splitter. A similar
arrangement may be used in a large theatre or performing arts facility.
The connection between a transceiver port on the E-Que card and a PD2203 splitter is
accomplished with standard 4-pair CAT-5 data cable with RJ-45 connectors. It is connected to
the port labeled MATRIX on the splitter. The splitter must be locally powered via its DC IN
connector, using the in-line external universal power supply.
Note: The RJ-45 ports on the splitter labeled “1” through “5” are the connections to the FS-TA
transceivers.
Ports 1 and 5 on the E-Que card are connections to the PD2203 splitter.
