Cable length limitations for DP-PA couplers

Hello friends,

What is the maximum cable length for the PA side on a DP-PA coupler and also when DP-PA coupler-Link is used?

What could be the maximum ideal distance between 2 slave devices(transmitters or valves) on DP-PA coupler? How will it vary if I use a repeater?

How many maximum PA slaves can be linked on a DP-PA coupler and also when Link is used?
 
Hi,

Coupler gives you one PA segment = 1900km
Link may have more than one PA segments, so number of segments*1900m

Did you mean if you use only 2 devices?
It depends on the number of slaves/spurs you have
For repeater, general PA rules must apply

> How many maximum PA slaves can be linked on a DP-PA coupler and also when Link is used? <

On DP/PA coupler up to 32 devices, coupler is not visible
On DP/PA link up to 31, DP sees DP/PA link as a slave

If you use coupler, all the PA device addresses would be seen on DP side, while Link can have up to 31 devices and occupy only one address(address of DP/PA link - DP slave) on DP side.

Hope this helps,
regards,
