  • Page 5: Crestron Cat5 Wiring

    Generally, in a hub system every device must have a separate wire returning to a central point. CAT5 wire is typically four pairs of 24AWG solid copper wires, with each pair twisted about three times per inch. It can be supplied with or without a foil shield, and with various outer insulation materials.

    Avoid periodic sags; vary the intervals if the cable must sag. • Do not bend CAT5 wire tightly around a corner; ensure that it bends gradually, so that a whole circle would be at least two inches in diameter. •...

    (e.g., 10BaseT Ethernet uses pairs 2 & 3). The pin numbers indicate actual physical locations on the plug and jack. CAT5 Cable Pairs The CAT5 twisted cable pairs are color-coded; the pair colors depend on which EIA specification is used, TIA-568B or TIA-568A. CAT5 Pair Color Coding...

    RJ-45 Jack Pinouts – Standard 568B CAT5 Wiring EIA Specification TIA-568A In the EIA specification TIA-568A CAT5 cable color/pin arrangement, the pairs remain the same, but the pin number assignment for the orange and green pairs change.
  • Page 9: Audio Applications

    NOTE: Balanced audio does not require a shield if the cable has good common mode characteristics (such as CAT5). Unbalanced audio signals are sent on a single wire, using ground as the reference for the signal. Ground wires are problematic because they can carry current when exposed to electromagnetic fields or when there is a voltage difference between the two connecting pieces of equipment.

    MediaManager installations. Routing CAT5E/UTP cable is less expensive and much simpler than routing multi- colored, multi-conductor coax cable. All Crestron products using the QuickMedia Transport System are capable of sending and receiving QuickMedia signals via standard CAT5E/UTP cable. Crestron recommends Belden Media-Twist cable, and Crescat-QM.
