SECTION 6 Installing Unison Accel
6.1 Installation Requirements
6.1.1 Component Location Requirements
Unison Accel components are intended to be installed in indoor locations only.
6.1.2 Cable and Connector Requirements
The Accel equipment operates over Category 5 or 6 (Cat-5/6) screened twisted pair
(ScTP) cable with shielded RJ-45 connectors. These cables are widely used industry
standards for Local Area Networks (LANs). The regulations and guidelines for Uni-
son cable installation are identical to those specified by the TIA/EIA 568-A standard
and the TIA/EIA/IS-729 supplement for LANs.
LGC Wireless recommends plenum-rated Cat-5/6 ScTP cable and connectors for
conformity to building codes and standards. Mohawk/CDT 55986 or Belden 1624P
DataTwist® Five ScTP cable, or equivalent is required.
NOTE: In order to meet FCC and CE Mark emissions requirements, the Cat-5/6
cable must be screened (ScTP) and it must be grounded using shielded RJ-45 con-
nectors at both ends.
