INSTALLATION
18 2.2 Interconnection Cable Requirements To connect the Local and Remote Units you will need CATx (any category 5, 5e, 6 or higher)
cable terminated with RJ45 plugs. Please note that shielded cable is advised to maintain
regulatory EMC compliance.
Interconnect cables must be solid-core type. Stranded patch cable will give poor results over
longer distances. The pairing of the cable and pinning of its connectors should normally be in
accordance with EIA-568B. The following table illustrates which RJ45 connector pins the
extenders use for various signals. It also details the standard EIA-568B wiring scheme that is
recommended for most installations.
Looking into the RJ45 socket, Pin 1 is on the right and Pin 8 on the left.
