- the connection of remote lighting units is difficult, since the transmission range of data lines is limited. This can vary depending on the type of communication network used for individual types of cable, usually from lengths of up to a few loom. It should be noted, however, that with increasing cable length under certain circumstances, the quality of the data signal to be transmitted is impaired and problems due to electromagnetic incompatibility may occur. Although such problems can be addressed by improved shielding of the cables, this increases the cost of each cable.
- the tapping of the signal lines to the individual lamp unit requires additional design measures to overcome, for example, a higher contact resistance of the cable to the contact terminal of the lamp unit. The solution of the aforementioned problems is particularly difficult if in addition even higher data transmission rates are to be achieved in the lighting system.
