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/HDBaseT Wiring
IMPORTANT! 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
and Ethernet transmission 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.
• The type of category cable and length used can restrict the available video
resolution. While Cat5e can be used, WyreStorm recommends using Cat6
or higher to ensure the highest content performance available. See Video
Resolutions in the
table before determining cable type and
length.

IR TX/RX Wiring
IMPORTANT! IR TX/RX Guidelines
• WyreStorm IR ports function differently than standard IR ports. For this
reason only WyreStorm IR emitters and receivers can be used.
• WyreStorm IR emitter and 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 the IR TX to an IR connecting blocks or control system
with different plugs, a cable must be made following the
diagram.
• 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.
