Category 5 UTP/STP Cable

A.3 Category 5 UTP/STP Cable

• Connects the Expansion Hub to the RAU(s)

• Transmits (downlink) and receives (uplink) cellular

and PCS signals

• Delivers electrical power to RAU(s)

• Accommodates distances up to 50 meters (165 ft)

• Cat-5 STP is recommended when configuring mul-

tiple systems

LGC Wireless recommends plenum-rated Cat-5 UTP/STP cable and connectors

NOTE: Only Cat-5 shielded twisted pair (STP) cable should be used for neutral host

systems.

NOTE: UTP/STP cable length is 10 meters (33 ft) absolute minimum, 20 meters (66

ft) recommended minimum, and 50 meters (165 ft) maximum. For cables longer than

50 meters (165 ft), system specifications are slightly degraded. See Section 7.3.2, “Sys-

tem Gain (Loss) Relative to UTP/STP Cable Length,” on page 7-30.

UTP Termination

All UTP cable shall be terminated according to the TIA/EIA 568-A standard. The fol-

lowing diagram shows the top view of the wiring map for Category 5 UTP cable and

how the four pairs should be terminated.
