RJ-45 Connections
The CAT-5 T568A wiring stan-
dard shown on the right is used
for the RJ-45 terminations.
Keypad Wiring
For the UNO keypads, the following connections
are used to terminate the CAT-5 wire to the 110
punchdown on the keypad:
CAT-5 WIRE COLOR TYPE
Brown . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . +12V
Brown/White . . . . . . . . . . . . . . +12V
Green . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Ground
Green/White . . . . . . . . . . . . Status In
Orange . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Ground
Orange/White . . . . . . . . . . . . . IR Out
Blue . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . COM A
Blue/White . . . . . . . . . . . . . . COM B
• To determine the amount of CAT-5 wire
required for the system installation, first
decide how many keypads will be used, then
determine the distance between each intend-
ed keypad location to the intended CAV6.6
location. The maximum recommended wire
run length is 250 feet for each UNO Keypad.
• Make sure that the entire wire path
between keypads and CAV6.6 is clear and
not obstructed by a floor ceiling joist, or
masonry wall which can’t be drilled through.
• Confirm ahead of time that you can drill an
outlet hole easily and in an unobtrusive spot
to connect wires with the CAV6.6.
• Label wires with keypad and room location.
This simplifies CAV6.6 hook-up once the key-
pads and speakers are installed.
• If you plan to use an additional IR receiver
with an UNO keypad, first determine the loca-
tion of the IR receiver, then measure the dis-
tance from the intended location to the UNO
keypad location. Incorporating optional IR
receivers will require additional wire. Consult
the selected IR receiver model’s manual for
the specific wire needs.
Speaker Wiring
• Standard 16-gauge 4-conductor stranded
speaker wire can be run up to to 125 feet;
14-gauge wire can be run up to 250 feet.
• When running wire, pay particular attention
to the following areas:
• Avoid locations concealing pipes, heating
ducts and AC wiring in the general vicinity.
• Avoid running wires close to house electri-
cal wiring for any distance. If you have to run
them parallel, make sure to space the wires
at least two feet from the AC line.
