4.3 NomadLink / Ethernet network setup
There are electrical limitations to cable lengths on a
NomadLink network, both in terms of total cable length in the
loop and between any two devices. Read the Operation and
Performance chapter in this manual, or the instructions
supplied with the NLB 60E, to ensure the network is
congured within these constraints.
Although the network will function as an open loop under
most circumstances, it is strongly recommended that the
loop be closed by connecting the last amplier’s OUT port
to the NLB 60E’s IN port. Doing so will improve redundancy
and communication speed.
Many newer laptop computers will allow peer-to-peer
connection with the NLB 60E using a standard
“straight” Cat-5 cable instead of a crossed cable.
US National Differences cl.16.3 requires that NomadLink
network cables must be rated VW-1.
