Calculator Tool
The Plixus Power Calculator Tool allows to you to validate a configuration in more detail. It takes
into account the network cable lengths, power cable lengths and the different types of equipment.
The Plixus Power Calculator Tool can be easily found on the Televic Partner Domain.
Regardless of the calculator values, the maximum values above still apply. If more units, more power or a
larger length is needed, then you need to create a separate branch using a Network Extender.
Cable Requirements
Televic advises to use minimum CAT 5e F/UTP 23 AWG for run cables and CAT 5e F/UTP 24
AWG patch cables.
Televic strongly advises that cables for all video-enabled products are created in loop.
Please follow the cable guidelines described here, they are important to guarantee correct system
performance.
Keep all cable runs under 90% of the maximum distance supported for each media type as
specified in the relevant standard. This extra headroom is for the additional patch cables that
will be included in the end-to-end connection.
Always use the same type of cable (except AWG) in the end-to-end connection.
Cabling installations and components should be compliant with the ISO/IEC 11801 standard.
Do not stress the cable by doing any of the following
Applying additional twists
Pulling or stretching beyond its specified pulling load rating
Bending it beyond its specified bend radius
Creating tension in suspended runs
Stapling or applying pressure with cable ties
Avoid placing copper cables near equipment that can generate high levels of
electromagnetic interference. Generally avoid locations near power cords, fluorescent lights,
