Cable Bundling Polycom EagleEye Digital Extender is based on HDBaseT technology, which limits how
many data cables can be bundled together. The following table shows the maximum number of data cables
permitted in a bundle.
Maximum number of cables per bundle
Recommended Cable Polycom EagleEye Digital Extender is based on HDBaseT technology. Cat 5e
cable was used for all FCC and CE regulatory testing. For best performance, use HDBaseT recommended
Cat 6A solid conductor shielded cable (CAT 6A F/UTP) found at http://hdbaset.org/cables.
EagleEye Digital Extender Installation Best Practices When installing the EagleEye Digital Extender,
follow these installation recommendations:
● Do not loop excess cable.
● Do not comb or pinstripe cables in the first 20m.
● Separate path and equipment cords in the first 20m.
● Avoid tie-wraps.
● Use horizontal wire management techniques, such as routing odd ports to upper management and
even ports to lower management.
● Loosely place cables in vertical wire management.
● Reduce maximum conduit fill density to 40%.
● Avoid routing or bundling the CATx cable close to any high noise source cable; for example, the
power cable of a fluorescent lamp, the power line of an air conditioner or a wifi access router
● Avoid routing the CATx cable close to high noise source equipment such as fluorescent lamps, air
conditioners or wifi access points.

Notes:
• Augmented Cat6a F/UTP (sometimes referred to as ScTp) or Cat7 S/FTP (fully
shielded) cabling systems.
• Augmented Cat6a UTP systems, such as those with cable diameter design
enhancements that increase cable-to-cable separation.
