Clear-Com HX System Frames - Manual (Page 103)

Each antenna can handle up to five beltpacks simultaneously and switch service between
antennas under control of the matrix as the beltpack user moves around the site.
The DC In power connector is used to locally power the transceiver/antenna with the
supplied universal power supply. Use of local power is always required when the
transceiver/antenna is connected directly to the E-QUE rear card (rather than via a splitter),
and may be required if the antenna is located more than 300 meters (925 feet) from a
splitter. It is recommended even when the transceiver/antenna is closer whenever it is
available and convenient.
Transceiver/antennas can be located up to 1,000 meters (3,200 feet) using 24 AWG cable
or up to 500 meters (1,600 feet) using 26 AWG cable over CAT5 cable from the base
station avoiding expensive RF cable.
Note:
It is recommended that shielded CAT5 cable is used for all wireless installations.
Where multiple matrices are networked together with antennas or splitters connected to
E-QUE interface cards on more than one matrix the E-QUE interfaces should have the
DECT Sync links between matrices to ensure the correct operation of the
FreeSpeak/CellCom system.
Multiple E-QUE interface cards within a single matrix do not require external DECT sync
cables, connected as the signal uses the backplane.
