Overview
This instruction set is written for using Category 5 (or equivalent—such as 5e or 6) cable that terminates
into an IDC (insulation-displacement connector) style connector for use as DMX or EchoConnect
wiring.
Cat5 Cable Preparation
Step 1:
Cut cable (if necessary) so that an 8” (20.3cm)
tail extends from the edge of the box.
Step 2:
Follow normal Category 5 installation
procedures to remove about 2” (51mm) off the
end of the cable jacket and bare the individual
wire.
Step 3:
Label the cable with the data type and run
designation. (D1, E1, etc.)
Step 4:
Maintain the wire pair twist going as close to the
connector as possible and terminate the wires as
required.
N o t e :
When used for EchoConnect station wiring,
one Cat5 Station Termination kit is required
for each station.
An Echo Cat5 Termination Box is required
when using Cat 5 wiring with the Echo Station
Power Supply.
