Cabling Notes
Ceiling microphones are shipped with one Cat-5e cable to connect to the interface box.
Caution
When building cables for Vaddio products, do not use pass-through RJ-45 connectors. If they are
crimped incorrectly, they can cause intermittent connections and degrade signal quality. Incorrectly
crimped pass-through connectors can also damage the connectors on the product, which will void your
warranty.
Intact
– will make reliable contact
with cable connector
Damaged
– Bent contact fingers
will NOT make reliable contact with
cable connector
Use Cat-5e or better cable. We recommend using high-quality connectors and a high-quality crimping tool.
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.
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
Label all cables at both ends.
