System Setup

General guidelines

Connect the CU 6010 to the various DCS 6000
units using Cat5 or Cat5e FTP or STP screened
cables.
The operation of the DCS 6000 units is found in the
User Manual for the specific units.
Please observe the following guidelines:
Maximum cable length in one chain is 200
m (before
interconnection cables between the units.
The max. usable cable length depends on
the units connected and length of feeding
cables etc.
Maximum cable length in one chain when
using repeaters is 650 m.
Although each of the outputs DCS-LAN
Network Output connectors (A1, A2, B1
and B2) have a 100W supply, this 100W
power is not all usable with long cables, as
there will be a power drop in the feeding
cable from the CU 6010 to the units
connected. If the feeding cables are short
and the cables between the units are short,
more units can be connected than if the

Built into 19" Racks

The unit has a built-in fan taking air in at the right
side of the unit and blowing the hot air out at the
right side. That allows units in 19" racks to be
repeating). This includes
feeding cable is long and/or the cables are
long between the units. Please consult the
next section (Max. Number of units to be
connected)
The max. number of languages configured
on chain A (A1 or A2) or B (B1 or B2) is
16. If more languages are required,
Interpreter sets for those languages have to
be divided between both chains (A and B).
Normally the languages are supposed to be
divided equally on chains A (A1 or A2) and
B (B1 or B2).
If the last unit in one chain is a CS 6032
Channel Selector, this unit has to be
terminated with an external termination, as
the CS 6032 does not have an internal
automatic termination.
It is desirable that the square of the feeding cables
especially, but also the interconnection cables are as
big as possible to minimize the voltage drop in the
cables. Cat 5/Cat5E cables are delivered in various
gauges:

for various AWG types:
