Introduction
Using Direct Ethernet (CAT5/CAT6 or Equivalent) Connections
Sites where dispensers are connected directly to the backroom by Ethernet cables will require
a switch to connect cables from all the dispensers.
Note: Follow specific requirements when running direct CAT5 cable (for example, maximum
run of 280 feet). For more information on requirements for CAT5 runs, refer to

Installation Instructions.
When using a direct CAT5 connection from the backroom for high speed, ensure that the high
