10 Introduction Landmark Cinema Quick Setup Guide
Making the Cables
Use Category 5 (CAT-5) wire for all PhastLink connections. CAT-5 wire consists of
4 twisted pairs of wires. An RJ-45 connector is used at each end.
T568A Wiring Standard (PhastLink Cables)
The cables between the PMB-RF, PMB-TCC, and PMB-CF2 are CAT-5 PhastLink
cables. These cables use the T568A wiring standard for the RJ-45 pin connections at
BOTH ends of each cable. These connections are shown in Figure 8:

T568A-to-T568B Wiring Standard (NULL 10-BaseT Ethernet Cable)
The cable between a computer's Ethernet card and the PLC-MCU card (in the PMB-
CF2) is a CAT-5 10-BaseT Ethernet cable that uses the T568A standard at one end of
the cable and the T568B wiring standard at the other end of the cable. It does not
matter which end is plugged into which device, as long as one end is wired one
way and the other end is wired the other way.

Important!
There are TWO different
wiring standards used in a
Landmark Cinema system.
Depending on what devices
are being connected, you
must select the proper
standard, as explained below.

Note
If you are connecting the
PLC-MCU card to an Ethernet
hub instead of to an Ethernet
card in a PC, use a straight-
through, pin-to-pin cable.
