Figure 4-4: E-QUE Card Splitter Connection
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 CAT-5 cable from the base station avoiding expensive RF
cable.
Note: It is recommended that shielded CAT-5 cable is used for all
wireless installations.
Where multiple matrices are networked together with antennas or
splitters connected to E-QUE interfaces on more than one matrix the
