Twisted Pair Cable Pinouts
AMX supports both the T568A and T568B pinout specifications for termination of the twisted pair cable used between the DVX and
the DXLink receiver.

Important Twisted Pair Cabling Requirements and Recommendations
The following requirements and recommendations apply to cabling DXLink (RJ-45) connectors:
DXLink cable runs require shielded category cable (STP) of Cat6 (or better).
DXLink twisted pair cable runs for DXLink equipment shall only be run within a common building.*
DXLink delivers 10.2 GB/s throughput over shielded category cable. Based on this bandwidth requirement, we recommend
following industry standard practices designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet when designing and installing the cable
infrastructure.
The cables should be no longer than necessary to reach the end-points. We recommend terminating the cable to the actual
distance required rather than leaving any excess cable in a service loop.
For more details and helpful cabling information, reference the white paper titled "Cabling for Success with DXLink" available at
or contact your AMX representative.
* "Common building" is defined as: Where the walls of the structure(s) are physically connected and the structure(s) share a single
ground reference.
