Pre-Wiring 

CAT-5 Wiring between MRC88m and MRKP1E 

The MRC88m and all associated components are wired using CAT-5 
terminated to the T568A or T568B Wiring Standard (Figure 2.1). When pre-
wiring the system, run lengths of CAT-5 from the pre-determined MRC88m 
location to each Keypad or Touch Panel location. The CAT-5 cable routes all 
Power, Control, Communication, and IR information needed for full system 
operation.  
 
Important: While there are two wiring standards, it is very important to be 
consistent to one configuration throughout the entire system.  Otherwise, the 
system will not operate. 
 
Note: Speaker wiring will need to be separately routed from the MRC88m to 
each zone.
