IMPORTANT
Signal degradation can result if cable is run in conduit with AC wiring or in other electrically "noisy" environments; these can affect
the maximum length the cable can run without incurring transmission errors.
CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
!
The MATE3s is intended for indoor installations only.
NOTES
The MATE3s voltage is less than 30 Vdc and is thus considered a "limited energy" circuit normally requiring no conduit.
CAT5 cable is not as strong as house wiring and must be handled carefully. Avoid kinking the cable or tearing its outer sheathing.
Use plastic standoff cable staples, J-hooks, or cable trays to support long runs of CAT5 cable. Do not splice cables.
Items 1, 2, and 3 are the MATE3s
mounting options from OutBack.

Item 4 is a semi-transparent front view which
also shows the ports and other back features.
To mount the MATE3s on the wall
without the accessory brackets:
2
1. Cut a hole in the surface at the location and
size shown in 4. This allows room for the
CAT5 cables to protrude through the wall.
2. Place the MATE3s on the wall with the cables
inside the hole. Mark the mounting holes (F)
3
by pushing a long nail into the mounting holes
and putting a leader hole in the wall surface.
NOTE: Do not use a nail that is larger than
the mounting screws.
