How far can I extend the RJ45 data cable between the Pylon-Monitor and the battery?

Quanto posso allungare il cavo dati RJ45 tra il Pylon-Monitor e la batteria?

Asked · Updated · 1 answer

Short answer

With a standard straight RJ45 cable (Cat5e or Cat6), up to about 10 metres is fine. Further away, keep the Pylon-Monitor next to the battery and extend the USB power cable instead: WiFi covers the distance.

With a standard straight RJ45 cable (Cat5e or Cat6) you can go up to about 10 metres without problems. Beyond that, reading errors may appear: in that case it is better to leave the Pylon-Monitor near the battery and extend the USB power cable instead.

Con un normale cavo RJ45 dritto (Cat5e o Cat6) può arrivare fino a circa 10 metri senza problemi. Oltre, possono verificarsi errori di lettura: in quel caso conviene lasciare il Pylon-Monitor vicino alla batteria e allungare piuttosto il cavo USB di alimentazione.
