Com Bus
In multi-frame systems, a “Com Bus” is used to loop through each
frame, up to a maximum of four. The Com Bus is intended to provide
switcher monitoring of multiple frames using Broadlinx web pages or
SNMP. The Com Bus uses a 10/100BaseT (Cat 5 twisted pair) cable with
RJ-45 connectors. Shielded cable is recommended, maximum length 60
meters.

Maximum length for unshielded cable is 100 meters.
Figure 91.
In DV-33512 systems, if the power supply chassis is equipped with an
NR-33000 Broadlinx board, install a Cat 5 twisted pair cable between
the power supply chassis Com Bus connector associated with the NR
board and one of the main chassis Com Bus connectors.
If there are additional DV-33512 main frames in the system, and
they do not have Broadlinx boards, then the Com Bus should be
daisy-chained to those frames also.
For an illustration, see page 102.

Compliance with EEC, EMC, EN series, UL- 1950, and CSA C22.2 No. 950-M89 standards requires use of a shielded cable.
