Direct Ethernet connection
A direct Ethernet connection may be used in the following situations:
• The distance between the desk console and the RFU is greater than 30 m.
If the desired operating location is greater than 30 m from the antenna
installation where the RFU is co-located, the direct 8-way to 10-way cable
(08-07205-030) cannot be used.
CAUTION: Long RF cable runs between the RFU and antenna can be used,
but cable losses degrade the signal.
• CAT5 Ethernet cable is already available between the required sites for the desk
console and RFU.
If the Ethernet cable is in situ, it may be cheaper and easier to use this cable
when compared with the cost of running a dedicated direct 8-way to 10-way
interface cable (08-07205-030).
CAUTION: The maximum continuous length of CAT5 Ethernet cable is
approximately 100 m.
This connection uses the transceiver to Ethernet adaptor cable (08-07215-001).
