Ethernet Cable Installation Strip off the Outer Jacket Insert the cable into your wire stripper. Inspect the inner wires to make sure none of them have been nicked.

Cut the wires Cut the wires flush about 1/2" from where the jacket was stripped off the cable. Make sure to leave enough that the ends of the wires are able to reach the pins of the connectors. The cable needs to go inside the connector housing enough for the crimp tab to come down on top of the jacket and hold it in place.
Installing the Speaker and Microphone The microphone and speaker must be wrapped in the foam boxes provided installed into a housing. A RF brand speaker post is recommended. Installing the microphone and speaker improperly will void the system warranty. Plug the Ethernet cable into the network port on the microphone. Connect the microphone to the speaker using a Western Union splice and solder.
