Planning for Communications and Data Cables

NOTE
A dedicated phone line provides the most reliable service.
RSN calls routed through a PBX might be slow due to the
load on the PBX, or might not complete successfully
because the calls can become disconnected. If you must
use a PBX, do not route the telephone extension through
a switchboard; instead, provide a direct-dial analog
number.
Table 4-1 describes component location considerations due to standard cable lengths.
