wiring the speakers and emerald ops
Power cables (16 gauge/2 conductor – Plenum Rated)
Data cables (CAT 5e or equivalent – 4 pair – Plenum Rated) – Straight Pin 568B Method
Audio cables (CAT 5e or equivalent – 4 pair – Plenum Rated) – Straight Pin 568B Method
Speaker Cables (CAT 5e or equivalent – 4 pair – Plenum Rated) – Straight Pin 568B Method
PREPARATION
Check site drawing for wiring installation diagram
Use wiring diagram to determine approximate wiring lengths:
Approximately 25’ between speakers (Cat 5e 4 pair)
Approximately 3000’ total Data and Audio cable length
(AE Router needed at that point to extend distance)
IMPORTANT: Double-check for long home runs and runs between floors, as these will
require much longer lengths of wire. Check wiring schematics for your project.
For more detail about system wiring, see Section 3.7 – data and audio cables
