Cabling
As long as a good Internet speed is guaranteed, the network cable used determines the actual
transmission speed of data sent and received in the network.
f To ensure a reliable transmission speed of audio and video data with the TC Bar, please use an
RJ45 network cable with the CAT5e S/FTP standard or higher.
Power over Ethernet (PoE)
Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a network function that can supply network-compatible devices with
power via an existing data connection.
Power and data transmission takes place via a network cable (RJ45) and, depending on the device
type, can be sufficient for operation even without an additional power supply via the socket. Depend-
ing on the device type, a distinction must be made between:
• Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) and
• Powered Device (PD)
Powered Device (PD)
• TC Bar S is a Powered Device (IEEE 802.3at Type 2,PoE+) and can be operated using the
network cable alone.
Note:
For a continuous power supply, we always recommend connecting and using the included
power supply unit.
Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE)
• TC Bar M is a Power Sourcing Device (IEEE 802.3af Type 1, PoE) and can provide the power
supply for power-consuming devices (e.g. other Sennheiser products connected in the same
network structure) via both Ethernet ports.
Note:
The exclusive power supply of the TC Bar M via PoE only is not supported. This device must
always be operated with the included power supply unit.
Note:
Please note that the TC Bar M can only supply additional power to devices with a maximum
power requirement of 15 W via the LAN cable (IEEE 802.3af Type 1, PoE).
Detailed information on activating Power over Ethernet in the Sennheiser Control Cockpit software
can be found in chapter „Activating Power over Ethernet (for PSE devices only (e.g. TC Bar M))“.
