Q: The 100BaseT Ethernet specification specifies a maximum length of 100m. Why am I re-
stricted to 60m of cable between the IDU and ODU?
A: The 60m restriction is a result of the voltage drop experience using CAT 5 cable. The 100m
maximum length still applies between the ODU and connected equipment.
Q: Can I source and use my own PoE adaptor with the OS-Gemini?
A: No. The OS-Gemini uses a non-standard PoE configuration. Failure to use the Orthogon
Systems supplied IDU and in-line power supply could result in equipment damage and present
potential safety problems.
