2b. For FS-5 systems, run a second Cat5
cable through the wall between the
two Video Wallplate locations.
Maximum length for the video Cat5
cable is 250 feet. See
Figure 9
on
page 14.
3. Install RJ-45 connectors on both
ends of the Cat5 cables as
explained in the

Cat5/RJ-45 Cable Wiring
All RJ-45 cables used in iPort installations must be wired
according to the T568A (“Straight-Through”) Standard, with
cables wired identically at both ends.
To prepare Cat5/RJ-45 cables for iPort installations:
1. Pull the Cat5 wire through the wall between the desired
locations.
2. Use a stripper or knife to strip about 1” of the cable jacket
off each end of the wire.
• Be careful not
to nick any of
the individual
wires.
3. Untwist
the
wire pairs and
spread them
flat. Arrange
them as shown
in the diagram.
4. Trim the ends
of the individ-
ual wires to ½”
in length, mak-
ing sure that
they are even
with each other. Flatten the wires against each other, leaving
no space between them.
5. Hold the RJ-45 connector clip side-down and insert the Cat5
wire ends firmly into the connector. Make sure that all the
wires are flat all the way to the very front of the connector.
6. Re-confirm that the color orientation matches the diagram
and that cable jacket fits against the connector stop.
7. Firmly crimp the RJ-45 connector with a crimp tool. Confirm
that the connector is crimped firmly and that all the wires are
flat right up against the front of the connector. If even one of
these wires is incorrect, cut the connector off the cable and
repeat steps 2 – 7 with a new RJ-45 connector.
