Installation
CAT5/5e/6 cabling for the Magenta MultiView™ II Series must be pinned to the TIA-EIA T568B wiring
specification.
Figure 1 T568B CAT5 Specification
We also highly recommend that all CAT5 cables be pre-terminated and tested. Cables terminated on-site or in
an existing infrastructure should be tested before use to ensure compliance with the TIA-EIA T568B
specification. Using incorrectly terminated CAT5 cables can damage the Magenta MultiView™ II Series.
This equipment is not intended for, nor does it support, distribution through an Ethernet network. Do
not connect these devices to any sort of networking or telecommunications equipment!
Do not connect DC power until instructed to do so.
4.1 Prerequisites
Depending on the specific installation requirements, some common tools (screwdrivers, nut-drivers) and related
hardware (mounting screws) may be required. These are not provided with Magenta products.
The following items may be necessary, which are available from Magenta Research:
Appropriate
audio
cabling.
DVI video cable and/or HDMI/DVI connector adapter, as needed.
Serial cable with DB9 connectors.
Of course, you will need appropriate CAT5 cable, as previously described, to connect the DVI-TX to MultiView
receivers and other MultiView devices.
