Installation — Stage Two, cont’d

2. Pull the cables (at the input locations)

The following cables need to be installed:

• CAT 5 cables for signal transmission from the

A/V wall plates to the PVS 305SA

For PVT RGB D and PVT RGB D Plus wall

plates, two CAT 5 signal cables for each input are

needed.

Maximum distance from the PVS 305SA to the

Wall plates is 100 feet.

The optimum distance is between 50 and 75

feet. Minimum distance is 15 feet.

The CAT 5 cables supplied are terminated to the

TIA 568A standard. Other CAT 5 cables can

be used if they are TIA 568A or 568B standards

and terminated to the same standard at both ends.

• CAT 5 cables (not included) for MLC network

connection

• PoleVault switcher communication cable from the

MediaLink controller (MLC PW/RS-232/VC, 50’,

part # 26-626-50)

• Projector communication cables from the MediaLink

controller (IR Serial Comm, 50’, part # 26-621-50)

Drill cable pathways through any obstructions

(e.g., wall caps, fire-breaks, or horizontal studs).

Label the CAT 5 signal cables at both ends with the

supplied labels.

Pull the cabling through the wall from the ceiling space

down to the location of the transmitters and other wall

devices, and out through the openings.

Secure cables with cable clamps to provide strain relief.

Trim back the outer foil shield to the point where the

cable exits the cable clamp, and insulate exposed cable
shields with heat shrink to reduce the chance of short
circuits.

Both braided and foil shields should be connected to an

equipment ground at the other end of the cable.

NOTE

Fasten the colored section to the cable first,
then wrap the clear section around it.

Use the supplied labels for clear cable

identification during installation.
