Communication Wiring & Fan Control
Installation
IMPORTANT: DC fans must be installed with the
supplied CAT-5e communication cable or
shielded CAT-5e (by others) that complies with
the following specifications. Cable must be
twisted pair, shielded 26 ga. CAT-5e cable with a
drain wire and must be compliant with ISO
11801. Cable must use shielded RJ45
connectors with a soldered drain and wiring
configuration must follow EIA/TIA T568B wiring
pinout. Individual CAT-5e cable lengths must not
exceed 200 ft. in order to prevent network
communication issues.
With Pre-Built CAT-5e Cable
Included Component:
• 100 – 200 ft. CAT-5e Control Cable (1)
Hardware/Tools Needed (Not Included):
• Fan Control (1, optional)
1. Plug one end of the CAT-5e control cable into
the 2-way RJ45 splitter located at the top of the
downtube. The cable can be plugged into any
open receptacle on the splitter.
2. Identify the desired location for installation of the
fan control and run the remainder of the CAT-5e
control cable to this location.
3. Secure the CAT-5e control cable to the building
structure to ensure it does not interfere with fan
performance. To prevent communication issues, do
not coil excess control cable or route control cable
with power wiring.
4. If provided, mount the optional fan control in the
desired location and plug the CAT-5e cable into
the RJ45 port on the control. Otherwise, install
and wire the control source according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
5. If one control source will be used to operate
multiple fans, the fans can be daisy-chained
together to create a network using the following
instructions.
CONTROL
FAN 1
a. Wire the first fan in the chain to the control
source using steps 1-4 above.
b. Plug an additional CAT-5e control cable into the
2-way RJ45 splitter located at the top of the
downtube on the first fan. Connect the other
end of this CAT-5e cable into the 2-way splitter
on the next fan.

d. Follow the "Fan Networking" instructions on
With Optional 1,000 ft. Bulk Spool of CAT-5e Cable
Included Component:
• 1,000 ft. Bulk Spool of CAT-5e Control Cable (1)
• Shielded, Pass-Through RJ45 Connectors (25)
Hardware/Tools Needed (Not Included):
• Fan Control (1, optional)
• CAT-5e Termination Tool
1. Determine required length of CAT-5e cable run.
Unspool appropriate amount of cable and cut to
length.
IMPORTANT: Individual CAT-5e cable lengths must
not exceed 200 ft. in order to prevent network
communication issues.
2. Strip and remove 2 in. of CAT-5e cable jacket
leaving the foil shield intact.
3. Fold foil shield back over cable jacket and trim foil
so that 1/4 in. remains.
4. Untwist conductor pairs, straighten and align wires
according to EIA/TIA T568B wiring pinout.
5. Trim conductor ends flush leaving 1 in. exposed.
6. Fully insert cable into shielded, pass-through RJ45
connectors until foil enters back end of connector.
Use only the provided RJ45 connectors.
7. Verify that conductors are in the correct wiring
scheme order.
8. Crimp RJ45 connector with CAT-5e termination tool
(not included).
9. Repeat on opposite end of CAT-5e cable to
