Installation Guide

Raven Series Category Cabling Guidelines
The Raven Series requires a minimum grade of Category 6a cabling to be used in order to reach 100m (330 ft) of extension distance.
NOTE: The total distance of 100m also includes the length of the patch cable should one be required. Up to 10m of patch cable can be used, although the remaining 90m distance must consist of solid core premise cabling.
Furthermore, depending upon specific application requirements, it is recommended that installers keep in mind how they intend to pull/route the link cable and whether to use Shielded or Foiled cable where appropriate.
When installing this product, it is appropriate to use Unshielded (UTP) cabling if the cable run installation meets the following requirements:

• The cable is not bundled with other cables
• The cable is run loosely with other Category cables
• The cable is not placed close to sources of interference such as power lines and radios
• The cable is not looped or coiled

When installing this product, Foiled (FTP) or Shielded (STP) cabling must be used if the cable run installation requires the following cable run installation:

• The cable is bundled with other cables
• The cable is run tight against other Category cables
• The cable is placed near sources of interference like power lines and radios
• The cable is looped or coiled

NOTE : For best performance install Raven 3204C using Shielded or Foiled CAT 6a/7 cable.
Requirements for Installing Raven 3204C System

To complete the installation, you will also require the following items that are not included with this system:

• USB compatible computer (host computer) with a USB compliant operating system
• USB compatible device(s)
• CAT 6a/7 cabling with two information outlets and two CAT 6a/7 patch cords with RJ45 connectors (if using premise cabling), ensuring the total cable length does not exceed 100m.

Preparing Your Site

Before installing this system, you will need to prepare your site:

1. Place your computer where desired and set it up.
2. Ensure to locate your USB device(s) within the 100m range of your CAT 6a/7 cable. If not adjust the location of your device(s) and/or computer accordingly.

NOTE : If you are using surface cabling, the Raven 3204C supports a maximum distance of 100m. Install the CAT 6a/7 cabling as desired and terminate it with the appropriate RJ45 ends. If using premise cabling, (in- building network infrastructure), ensure your cabling is installed between the two locations and does not exceed 100m and that it meets CAT 6a/7 specification.
CAUTION : Cable installation is important, particularly if high throughput applications are used. When installing, ensure the cable is installed away from, or isolated from potential sources of interference such as electrical wiring, fluorescent lighting, etc.
NOTE : When terminating cables, ensure the matching RJ45 connector is used for the cable type. For example, if CAT 6a cable is used, then CAT 6a compatible RJ45 connectors must be used. Otherwise, the benefits of using higher grade cabling may not be realized.

Installing the LEX Unit

1. Place the LEX unit near the computer.
2. Assemble the 24V 1A power adapter and country specific power cord together and connect them into a suitable AC outlet.
3. Connect the supplied USB-C cable between the LEX host port and to a USB 3 port on your host computer.

Technical Glossary

Category 6a/7 (CAT 6a/7) Network Cabling
Category 6a/7 cable is commonly also referred to as CAT 6a or CAT 7. This cabling is available in either solid or stranded twisted pair copper wire variants and as UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) or STP (Shielded Twisted Pair). UTP cables are not surrounded by any shielding making them more susceptible to Electromagnetic Interference (EMI).
STP cables include shielding the copper wires and provides better protection against EMI.
USB 3, USB 2.0 and USB-C Cables
USB cables have two distinct full-sized connectors. The Type A connector is used to connect the cable from a USB device to the Type A port on a computer or hub. The Type B connector is used to attach the USB cable to a USB device. The Type-C connector is used to connect to both USB hosts and devices.

RJ45
The Registered Jack (RJ) physical interface is what connects the network cabling (CAT 5e/6/7) to the LEX and REX units. You may use either the T568A scheme (Table 1) or the T568B scheme (Table 2) for cable termination as this extender system requires all four pairs of the cable. RJ45 connectors are sometimes also referred to as 8P8C connectors. Note that any given cable must be terminated using the same T568 scheme on both ends to operate correctly.
