Notes
All above-ceiling work must conform to local building codes and be performed by qualified personnel.
PoE type networks connected to this equipment are for intra-building use only and should not be connected
to lines that run outside of the building in which this product is located.
Cabling Notes
Use Cat-5e or better cable. In noisy RF or EMF environments, Cat-6 or Cat-7 is better. Maximum cable
distance for Cat-6 or Cat-7 cable is 328 ft. (100 m), 230 ft. (70 m) for Cat-5e cable. We recommend shielded
cabling if the cables will be coiled, run tightly with other cables, or routed near sources of electromagnetic
interference such as power lines or fluorescent light fixtures. When in doubt, use shielded Cat-6 cable or
better.
Caution
When making cables for Vaddio products, do not use pass-through RJ-45 connectors. If
they are crimped incorrectly, they can damage the connectors on the product, cause
intermittent connections, and degrade signal quality. Physical damage to the connectors
will void your warranty.
Intact
– Contact fingers will make
reliable contact with the cable
connector
Damaged
– Some contact fingers
are bent and will NOT make
reliable contact with the cable
connector
We recommend using high-quality connectors and a high-quality crimping tool.
Caution
Check your cables. Connecting a cable to the wrong port or using the wrong pin-out can result in equipment
damage and will void the warranty.
Pro Tip
To prevent tragic mishaps, label both ends of every cable.
