Site Planning

To ensure safe and durable wiring, installation must follow appropriate electrical and building
codes. Follow the National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements, unless local codes in your area
take precedence over the NEC code.
The following distance limits apply to installations that have 10/100 Base-T Category 5 network
cables attached to the Tropos 1410:
300 feet maximum between devices for 100BaseT operation
500 feet maximum for 10BaseT operation.
The Ethernet duplex and speed setting is configurable.
Note
National Electrical Codes (NEC) Article 800 requires the use of Agency Listed (UL/CSA/TUV) Building
Entrance Protector for all power and data communications cables entering a building. The NEC intends by
Article 800 to protect the building and occupants from fires caused by transient voltage and current surges.
Note
Ethernet data cable installations having lengths greater than 140 feet in the outdoor environment must use
a UL497 approved (UL/CSA/TUV Listed) primary protection device at the building entrance. Ethernet data
cable installations having lengths less than 140 feet in the outdoor environment may use a UL497A (UL/
CSA/TUV Listed) secondary protection device at the building entrance. Tropos Data Protection Device and
Network Protection Units are UL497A secondary protection devices.
