The H460 CAT-5 Music Distribution System
delivers quality audio to as many as four rooms via a
single CAT-5 connection to each location.
Each location has its own local
amplifier which is powered by the H460 Hub. The
system can be expanded with an additional hub for up
to 8 rooms.
The H460
comes with a wall plate and a hub. The wall plate
delivers audio to the hub which distributes audio to
each location.

The cables in an OpenHouse run from the various rooms of the house
directly to the service center location.(This is known as ‘home run’
wiring.) Two types of wire are used for communication and
entertainment: Cat-5, 4-UTP (4 nshielded wisted airs) wire handles
data or 1 to 4 telephone lines. RG-6 coax handles television (antenna or
cable), satellite dish, cable modem, or AV modulator signals. (An AV
modulator creates new TV channels for front door camera, DVD player, a
VCR or a satellite receiver.)
We recommend the following pre-wire schemes . Run these wires from
the service center to the rooms indicated.
