It is advisable to participate in the DICENTIS Conference System training before you install, configure, prepare, and operate a DICENTIS Conference System. The DICENTIS Conference System is an IP based conference system which runs on an OMNEO compatible Ethernet network. It is used for distributing and processing audio, video and data signals.
Ethernet switch: – Ethernet switch with PoE on some ports. - Routes the system data via Ethernet. - Provides power to the DICENTIS devices via PoE. CAT‑5e Ethernet cable (minimum requirement). 2023-02 (draft) | 4.3-draft | Bosch Security Systems B.V.

DICENTIS System installation overview | en Multi subnet DICENTIS Conference System The following figure illustrates a typical multi subnet DICENTIS Conference System with a total of 1500 DICENTIS devices. – The system is divided over four (4) subnets, where two (2) subnets having a maximum of 450 DICENTIS nodes and an OMN-ARNIS are connected.
Notice! Make sure that the cable lengths and power consumptions do not exceed the specifications. Not doing so will result in malfunctioning at any moment of the DICENTIS Conference System and products. Caution! When the relative humidity is below 40%, synthetic materials can cause static discharge and result in malfunctions.

– to extend cables, – in a floor pod as break-out box, – as an interface between DICENTIS cable and “standard” CAT-5E cable combined with a separate power cable, – to insert power locally to the participant devices, – to switch the system on by using two cable couplers and a switch.
Using a cable coupler as a break-out box The DICENTIS Cable coupler can be used in a floor pod as a break-out box, for example, if you want to connect temporary devices like a rostrum microphone. The cable coupler can be fixated using the screw holes (2.5 mm) or via a tie wrap through the recessed area.
Using a cable coupler as an interface between different types of cable The cable coupler can be used as an interface between DICENTIS cable and “standard” CAT-5E cable, optionally combined with a separate power cable. This can be used, for example, when standard CAT-5E cabling coming from the technical room has to be connected with DICENTIS cable in the conference room.
