• Use Category-6A or above cables and connectors. The max transmission distance varies by
cable type:
{ Category-6 UTP—55 m (180.45 ft).
{ Category-6 STP—100 m (328.084 ft), no interference.
{ Category-6 SFTP—100 m (328.084 ft).
{ Category-6A and above twisted pair—100 m (328.084 ft).
• Do not bundle cables in their first 20 m (65.62 ft).
• Separate power cords and twisted pair cables at and around the distribution frame.
• For ports adjacent to one another on the device, the peer ports on the distribution frame is
preferably not adjacent, for example:
{ If the device connects to one distribution frame, connect port 1 on the device to port 1 on the
distribution frame and port 2 on the device to port 3 on the distribution frame.
{ If the device connects to two distribution frames, connect port 1 on the device to port 1 on
distribution frame 1 and port 2 on the device to port 1 on distribution frame 2.
• Keep the device and twisted pair cables away from the interference source, such as a two-way
radio and a high-power variable-frequency drive.
