Twisted pair output/input

Terminating shielded cable

CAT 5/5e/6/7 twisted pair cable is not provided with the

transmitter/receiver pair. You may purchase cables that have

been precut to the required length and terminated to the T586A

or T586B standard (see the table on the next page).

Alternatively, purchase bulk cable and use the RJ-45 connectors

(provided) to prepare your own terminated cables as described

below.

The transmitter and receiver pair works with unshielded

twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables.

To ensure FCC Class A and CE compliance, and for

optimum performance, STP cables are recommended.

Do not use Extron Skew Free Cable with this product.

1. Cut the cables to the required length. All three cables

should be the same length.

2. Remove about 7/8" (2.2 cm) of the outer coat. If using STP

cable, peel back the shielding and fold it over the top of the

outer coat.

Peel back shield and

fold back.

3. Cut away and discard the clear cellophane inner wrapper

that extends beyond the folded back shielding.

4. Cut a piece of self-adhesive shielded aluminum tape

(provided), remove the backing, and wrap it around the

folded back shielding.

Aluminum Tape

Wrap tape around folded foil shielding.

Slightly overlap.

Cut and save the excess tape

for other connectors.

5. Separate the individual wires, and arrange them so that all

eight wires are side by side in the same order as the T586A

or T586B standard shown at the top of the next page. Both

ends of a cable must be wired to the same standard (T586A

or T586B).
