These estimates assume clean cable terminations, correct installation with terminators, and Vernetzen WoC hardware with properly tuned radios. Environmental conditions, bends, and mounting technique all affect performance.
Optimised Installation for Rugged Conditions
With simplicity and performance in mind, here are some best practices for optimal deployment:
- Strap Mounting Every 3–4m - Prevent sag and droop by securing the cable at consistent intervals.
- Minimise Bends - Maintain the cable's minimum bend radius to avoid signal degradation.
- Terminator Use - Always terminate the cable's far end with 50Ω N-type terminators for maximum efficiency.
- Choose MiMo for Critical Applications - Deploy parallel cables for applications requiring high bandwidth or low latency, such as remote PLC monitoring.
- Use the Vernetzen Cable Connector Tool – Will ensure accurate prep and consistent N-type connector attachment
