Interference in data transmission due to unshielded power cables

If unshielded power cables are used, they generate an electromagnetic field during operation which may induce interference in network cables during data transmission.

  1. When laying network cables without separating strip, observe a minimum clearance of 200 mm (8 in) to unshielded energy cables.
  2. When laying network cables with separating aluminum strip, observe a minimum clearance of 100 mm (4 in) to unshielded energy cables.
  3. When laying network cables with separating steel strip, observe a minimum clearance of 50 mm (2 in) to unshielded energy cables.

Additionally required material (not included in the scope of delivery):

  • One or two network cables

Procedure:

  1. Plug the RJ45 plug of the network cable into the network port X14 or X15 until the RJ45 plug snaps into place. The assignment of the network cables to the ports is not relevant, as the ports constitute a switch function.
  2. Connect the other end of the network cable to the SMA Speedwire device.
