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 opposite
page). Alternatively you may purchase bulk cable and RJ-45
connectors, and prepare your own terminated cables by
following the instructions below:
N 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.
N
Do not use Extron Skew Free Cable with this product.
1 . Cut the cables to the required length. Both 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,
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).
