1.2 Interconnect Cable
1.2.1 CATx
NOTE: A point-to-point connection is required. Operation with several patch fields is possible. Routing over an active network
component, such as an Ethernet hub, router, or switch, is not allowed.
• Avoid routing CATx cables along power cables.
• If the site has 3-phase AC power, make sure that the CPU module and CON module are on the same phase.
CAUTION: To maintain regulatory EMC compliance, you must use correctly installed shielded CATx cable throughout the
interconnection link. Also, all CATx cables need to have ferrites on both cable ends close to the device.
Type of Interconnect Cable
The DKM Modular Extender requires interconnect cabling specified for Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T). The use of solid-core (24
AWG), shielded, CAT5e (or better) is recommended.
Table 1-4. CATx interconnect cable specifications.
Parameter Description
CATx solid-core cable 24 AWG
S/UTP (CAT5e) cable according to EIA/TIA-568-B. Four pairs of
24 AWG wires. Connection according to EIA/TIA-568-B
(1000BASE-T).
CATx patch cable 26/8 AWG
S/UTP (CAT5e) cable according to EIA/TIA-568-B. Four pairs of
26/8 AWG wires. Connection according to EIA/TIA-568-B
(1000BASE-T).
NOTE: You can use flexible cables (patch cables) type 26/8 AWG; however, but you’ll only get half the maximum possible
extension distance (Table 1-5).
