Cascade the APC Devices with CAT-5 Cables

Connect the CAT-5 cables to the jacks inside the EPO box. Each cable can support up to four APC device wire pairs. Follow these guidelines when connecting CAT-5 cables:

• Use only the bottom jacks (3 and 4) if cascading four (4) or fewer devices.

• Use both the bottom and the top jacks (1, 2, 3 and 4) if cascading five (5) or more devices.

• Connect the output jacks (1 and 3) of the first EPO box to the input jacks (2 and 4) of the second EPO box.

• Continue until all boxes are connected.

• If necessary, use the white cable clamps to secure the CAT-5 cables.
