No other Tree devices can be connected to a branch used for Intercommunication. The devices are linked together using either the Tree interface provided by the Miniserver or a Tree branch provided by the Tree Extension. When multiple Miniservers are linked together through a Tree interface, they can communicate and share information in various forms (digital, analog, and textual) using Tree Intercommunication. In short, you should use CAT7 in all Loxone systems to ensure maximum functionality and readiness for the future. In addition to shielding and high data rates, thanks to the AWG23 core thickness, you can also use this cable to supply power to devices over longer distances without experiencing excessive volt-drop. That has the additional benefit of shielding the data signals from any potential interference from electromagnetic fields during times of peak EMI. We highly recommend CAT7 wires because of their superior shielding for all data transmissions within a Loxone smart home.ĭifferent data and power signals can be sent down separate pairs of a CAT7 cable's shielding, reducing the likelihood of interference that would otherwise occur. That can drastically shorten the period required for the installation's commissioning process.Īlthough CAT7 cables' high data transfer rate and future-proof flexibility are attractive features, that's not why we're switching to them. With their two color-coded, twisted pairs of 0.6 mm2 cross-section and one pair of 1.5 mm2 cross-section, Loxone Tree cable and Loxone PVC Tree cable are the best options for supplying 24 V to Loxone luminaires.Ĭlear color coding helps reduce the number of potential points of failure in the wiring, such as the ends and the connections. Only the green-and-white-marked Tree communication branch needs to be this long the orange-and-white-marked 24 V power supply can be shorter than that, as long as we consider the distance, the cable cross-section, the voltage drop, and the number of tree devices.Įxcept for the fact that the cable can't form a loop if it goes in a circle, the topology is open to any configuration. The Tree Line (cable) can only be up to 500 meters long. The former allows for the connection of 50 devices on each branch (the left and right), and the latter supports a maximum of 50 devices. The Tree Extension and the Miniserver Tree connection of the second generation serve as the basis for the Tree buses. We advise using retractive switches because of the variety of clicks, double clicks, etc. As long as the switch can be wired into the system and provides a contact closure, it can perform any number of actions in the system's software. Touch Pure switches to perform multiple functions. Also, you are not limited to using The Loxone Touch and
