A.1 Cat-5/6 Cable (ScTP)
• Connects the Expansion Hub to the RAU(s)
• Transmits (downlink) and receives (uplink) cellular and PCS signals
• Delivers DC electrical power to the RAUs. The Expansion Hub’s DC voltage out-
put is 36V DC nominal. A current limiting circuit is used to protect the Expansion
Hub if it reaches its current limit
• Use shielded RJ-45 connectors
• Distances:
• Absolute Minimum: 10 meters (33 ft)
• Recommended Minimum: 25 meters (82 ft)
• Recommended Maximum: 100 meters (328 ft)
• Absolute Maximum: 150 meters (492 ft)
There are four separate twisted pairs in one Cat-5/6 screened twisted pair (ScTP)
cable. The ScTP cable loss described in this document is for Cat-5 Mohawk/CDT
55986 or Belden 1624P DataTwist Five cable, or equivalent. The following table lists
the functional assignment of the pairs:
