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.
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
signal transmission which may limit performance. Steps should be taken
to minimize or remove these factors completely during installation for best
results
•
WyreStorm recommends using pre-terminated HDMI and DP cables due to
the complexity of these connector types. Using pre-terminated cables will
ensure that these connections are accurate and will not interfere with the
performance of the product.

IMPORTANT! IR TX/RX Guidelines
•
Using WyreStorm infrared emitters and receivers is the best way to
ensure that most IR coding formats are transmitted and received by
the NetworkHD system. Other 3rd party emitters and receivers can be
used; however, these devices must operate in the same manner as the
WyreStorm devices.
•
On the 100/200/400 series the IR data modulation (carrier) frequency is
passed through NetworkHD from the receiver to the emitter, however on
the 600 series the carrier frequency is fixed at 38kHz when used in pass-
through mode. When using the API the carrier frequency can be defined for
greater compatibility.
•
Due to differences in IR across 3rd party control systems their IR ports
should never be connected directly to a NetworkHD system as an
incompatibility may exist. WyreStorm offers a cable that compensates for
voltage differences as well adjusts for differences in the pins used within
the port. Refer to the
product page for more information.
IR TX Port Pinout
Connection for IR TX (transmit) uses a 3.5mm (1/8in) mono plug.
IR RX Port Pinout
Connection for IR RX (receive) uses a 3.5mm (1/8in) stereo jack that outputs
+5V DC to power the included IR receiver.
SDVoE Wiring
The NetworkHD 600 Series utilize a 10GbE link connection to a
10GBASE-T Ethernet switch port. Please refer to IEEE 802.3an for
official guidance on the Ethernet link. Cables must be tested to 500MHz
across the entire link.
10GBASE-T uses the IEC 60603-7 8P8C modular connector.
LAN Port Wiring
The NetworkHD 600 Series LAN port is a 1GbE link for
connection to a 1000BASE-T Ethernet device port. Please refer to IEEE
802.3ab for official guidance on the Ethernet link. Cables must be tested
to 100MHz across the entire link.
1000BASE-T uses the IEC 60603-7 8P8C modular connector.
RS-232 Wiring
The NetworkHD 600 Series uses 3-pin RS-232 with no hardware flow control.
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.
Audio Wiring
The audio connections use a 3.5mm (1/8in) TRS Stereo Jack.
