7.1. VX-2000 to Remote Microphone Cable Distance
The cable distance between Remote Microphones (RM-200X or RM-200XF) is determined by the specifications
of the LONWORKS' Twisted Pair Free Topology Network (assuming Cat. 5 STP cable is used).

The maximum total cable length between all connected Remote Microphones and the VX-200XR is 450 m.
However, the maximum length between individual components within the system is 250 m.
a + b + c + d + e + f + g + h
450 m
(a, b, c, d, e, f, g, and h: Individual connections
250 m)
Tips
Cable distances can be increased by changing the cable type.
