Subnetwork Data Bus Length

The maximum total length of the Cat 5e cable subnetwork data bus is 600 ft. (180 m) when using tra-
ditional Allure sensors, and 328 ft (100 m) when using BLE enabled Distech Controls devices.
Figure 113: Maximum Length of the Cat 5e Cable Subnetwork Data Bus with traditional Allure sensors
For traditional Allure Communicating Sensor models:
A controller can support a maximum of two (2) Allure series sensor models equipped with a CO
sor; the remaining connected models must be without a CO
For instance, if the subnetwork for the controller model supports a subnetwork with 12 Allure series
communicating sensors in total, then 10 Allure series sensor models must be without a CO
and the remaining two (2) Allure series sensor models can be equipped with a CO
proper operation, it is recommended to distribute the sensors throughout the length of the subnetwork.
