Twisted Pair Cable Termination

Figure 9 details the recommended termination of twisted pair cables with RJ-45 connectors in accordance with the TIA/EIA T568A or TIA/EIA T568B wiring standards. You can use either standard with CAT 5, 5e, 6, 7, and STP201 cable, but ensure that you use the same standard on both ends of the cable.

NOTES:

•RJ-45 termination with CAT 5, 5e, or 6 cable must comply with the TIA/EIA T568A or TIA/EIA T568B wiring standards for all connections.

•RJ-45 termination with Skew-Free AV UTP cable must comply with TIA/EIA T568A only.

•For proper grounding of shielded twisted pair cable, ensure the shield around each wire pair are all tied to the RJ-45 connectors on both ends, in accordance with the connector specifications provided by the manufacturer.

•Extron Enhanced Skew-Free AV cable is not recommended for

Ethernet/LAN applications. This cable is specially designed for compatibility with Extron Twisted Pair products that are wired using the TIA/EIA T568A standard.

•The green, brown, and blue wire pairs of this cable have virtually identical lengths and should be used to transmit the RGB signals.

•The orange wire pair of this cable has a different length and should not be used to transmit the RGB signals.
