only guarantees the performance of the EtherCon

for 1000 mating cycles.

In order to provide a more reliable long-term solu-

tion, Lab.gruppen recommends the circular metal

push-pull connector from LEMO

®

. These connectors

are rated to withstand 5000 mating cycles, and are

available in both crimped and soldered versions.

LEMO connectors

Rated at 5000 insertions

Operational from -50 C to + 200 C

Nickel / brass construction

In order to use the LEMO connector one

must use the following pin out. Pins 4 and

6 are “shifted”. If the connector is made

with a pin-to-pin wiring configuration, the

connection will work for 100BASE-TX, but not for

1000BASE-T.

6.1.3 Recommended network cabling:

Belden 1305a

Although Belden 1305A is a stranded-type

cable providing high resilience against failure

from repetitive bending or stressing, it ex-

hibits a loss of 26.4 dB instead of the 24

dB that is stated in the Cat-5e requirements. This

limits the recommended length to 90.9 m. Please

be aware that Lab.gruppen has not verified perfor-

mance at the maximum length.

Belden 1305a Cat-6 cable

4 pair / 8 conductor

Wire pairs are glued together to resist bend failure

Approved for both indoor and outdoor applications

Operating temperature of -20 C to +60 C
