termination as pictured below:
Connector type and size is very important to ensure extenders work correctly. Please use the
matching cable type with the correct RJ45 connector.

signals are sensitive to cable quality and installation technique. It is recommended to
use CAT6a/7 solid core cables for best results.
Captive Screw
The captive screw connectors allow you to cut cables to a suitable length, reducing cable clutter
while providing a more reliable connection.
Connecting
The captive screw connectors have
a contact bar that is adjusted to
compress the wire against the top
contact plate. Use the screws at the
top of the connector to compress
the wire against the contact plate.
When connecting the cables to the female captive screw connector it is important that the wires be
terminated correctly. The female captive screw connector has a contact plate at the top and must
have the wires touching it for signal to pass. When wired correctly
(see picture A)
the signal will pass,
incorrectly
(see picture B)
no signal will pass.

Analog Audio
A captive screw analog audio connector is provided to ensure a more reliable and secure
connection. The captive screw connector supports unbalanced audio output.
Unbalanced audio connections use one signal wire and a ground and are used if other system
components don’t support balanced signals.
Note:
Pin outs may vary, please refer to the audio device’s manual to ensure a correct connection.
Important!
When terminating cables, please ensure exposed adjacent wires do not touch. This may result in
a short that can damage connected devices.
