Wiring and Connections
WyreStorm recommends that all wiring for the installation is run and terminated prior to making connections to the switcher. Read through this section in this
entirety before running or terminating the wires to ensure proper operation and to avoid damaging equipment.
HDMI Wiring
IMPORTANT! HDMI Wiring Guidelines
• The use of patch panels, wall plates, cable extenders, kinks in cables, and
electrical or environmental interference will have an adverse effect on HDMI
limiting performance. Steps should be taken to minimize or remove these
factors completely during installation for best results.
• WyreStorm recommends using high quality HDMI cables such as
WyreStorm Express to ensure the highest content performance available.
IR TX/RX Wiring
Connection for IR Ext (receive) uses a 3.5mm (1/8in) stereo jack that o5V DC to power the included IR receiver.
IMPORTANT! IR TX/RX Guidelines
• WyreStorm IR ports function differently than standard IR ports. For this
reason only WyreStorm IR receivers can be used.
• WyreStorm IR receiver cables cannot be spliced as cutting into the cables
will short the shield. While an extension cable may be used, WyreStorm
assumes no responsibility for operation using an extension cable.
• When connecting to an IR control system use the WyreStorm CAB-IR-LINK
cable. This cable compensates for differences between the WyreStorm RX
and the control systems TX connection. Visit the
product page for details.

RS-232 Wiring
Most control systems and computers are DTE where pin 2 is RX, this can vary
from device to device. Refer to the documentation for the connected device
for pin functionally to ensure that the correct connections can be made.
