STEP 2: RUN THE SIGNAL & POWER CABLES TO THE DISPLAY LOCATION
A. SignWave display devices include built-in Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) handling.
connectivity and power can be delivered to the display over one Ethernet cable (Cat-5e cable
standard or better).
B. The Ethernet cable running to each display must be a "home run" back to a network switch or
Midspan Injector and must not exceed 328 feet (100m)(the limit for both Ethernet and PoE).
C. Utilize a standard RJ45 connector with no strain-relief-boot to terminate the Ethernet cable at the
display end. (RJ45 with boot may be used at the switch end—but do not use a boot or slim-line
boot at the display device end to prevent excessive bend on the cable at the display device's
network connection).
Note: If PoE is not being utilized, 12V DC power may be applied separately from the network
connection, however be sure to verify local electrical codes for in-wall concealment of AC and
DC electrical devices and wiring. In general, the National Electrical Code prohibits standard
power cable type AC connections within a wall, making PoE the preferred and recommended
method of connectivity for any wall mounted device. Recessed power outlets with enough
space to hold the AC to DC power transformer may be used; however, this complicates the
installation to a large degree and forces custom electrical work and expense.
