TIP: Optimal NomadLink performance can only be assured when using Cat-5 cables. However, as
NomadLink is only using two wires + ground for communication and phantom power it is possible
to create converters from RJ45 to, for example, XLR connectors using 2-wire shielded cable. The
NomadLink network can then be operated using a standard tie-line in a multicore signal distribution
system. See the drawing below for an example of how to create a converter.
NOTE: If any cable format or connection other than Cat-5 (or better) and RJ45 is utilized, network
performance may be compromised. In this event LAB GRUPPEN cannot guarantee that the
NomadLink network will be fully operational.
5.7.3. NomadLink network cable lengths
The connection between the NLB 60E and your PC is a standard Ethernet network running the TCP/IP protocol.
Cable distances between NLB 60E and your PC follow standard rules for Ethernet systems.
In situations where the ampliers and the NLB 60E will be positioned in different locations at some distance from
each other, or where groups of ampliers within a single subnet with up to 60 units will be installed with a distance
in between, these general rules applying to Ethernet cabling limitations may be considered.
• Rule 1: The maximum cable length in between any two devices may not exceed 300 meters / 980 feet.
• Rule 2: In a non-closed-loop daisy-chained subnet the total maximum cable length is 400 meters / 1300 feet.
• Rule 3: In a closed-loop subnet the total maximum cable length is 700 meters / 2300 feet.
