You must not cross any roads, paths or borders between camping grounds. Always lay your cable from the Datenklo towards your tent to keep any slack close to your tent. Leave 5m of slack cable at the Datenklo. You can simply leave the end of your cable at the Datenklo, it will be connected by helpers at regular intervals (during reasonable work hours). If you want your cable back, make a proper spool of it and leave that at the Datenklo or mark it accordingly. It will be disconnected for you to pick up. -The maximum line-of-sight distance to the next Datenklo will be approximately 50 meters. Cables will not be provided. A length of 50 meters is recommended. If that is insufficient, you will find someone within this range who has a switch and can plug you in. But bringing 60 or 75 meters won't hurt if you want to be sure. Do not bring SFTP or other shielded cables, this can cause harm to your and our equipment, we will not connect them (this is to prevent ground loops). As a remmediation you can bring an adaptor and a (short) unshielded cable. +The maximum line-of-sight distance to the next Datenklo will be approximately 50 meters. Cables will not be provided.
