- Title:ProNET Cabling Change
-
- To conform with recommendations provided by Proteon, Novell is now
- shipping IBM TYPE 6 cabling for ProNET systems. Previously Novell
- supplied Belden 9804 cables.
-
- Cable specifications:
-
- TYPE IMPEDANCE
- ---- ---------
- IBM TYPE 6 150 ohm
- Belden 9804 100 ohm
-
- For existing systems that have Belden 9804 cabling and are being
- expanded, we recommend that only IBM TYPE 6 cabling be installed
- and any Belden 9804 cables be replaced with IBM TYPE 6 cables.
-
- It has been found that ProNET systems with one or two wire centers
- using short lengths of cabling (approximately 3 meters or less) can
- use both types of cabling on the same system; however, to eliminate
- potential problems using cables with different impedances, we
- recommend that a ProNET system regardless of cable length use only
- cables of the same impedance.
-
- For existing systems that have Belden 9804 cabling and are not being
- expanded, no change is needed.
