3.1 Cabling Considerations

• We recommend mounting and connecting all cabling to the CAT5 Multi VGA
System components before applying power.
• Make sure that the CAT5 cable you intend to use has been tested to comply
with the TIA/EIA 568B wiring specification.

3.2 Making the Connections

ONNECTIONS AND ETUP IN ENERAL
Refer to Figure 3-1 for cabling information. See Appendix A for cable pinning
information.
1. Connect an RJ-45 cable from a CAT5 Multi Video System transmitter unit into
any port labeled SOURCE.
It is recommended to maintain cable lengths as equal as possible from each
transmitter unit to the switch. This is due to all adjustments for cable length
compensation are done on receiver units. Switching between inputs with unequal
cable lengths may cause display images to change due to incorrect cable
compensation settings on the receiver.
2. Connect RJ-45 cables from CAT5 Multi Video System receiver units into the
ports labeled OUTPUT.
3. Connect the power cable to the unit.
4. If applicable, attach a serial control cable to the 5 position phoenix connecter
(reference Appendix A for pinout information.
5. If using external serial control see Section XX for serial configuration.
