Setup
CAT5 Wiring
Category 5 (CAT5) wiring is a twisted pair cable designed for Ethernet
networks. These networks operate at speeds of up to 100 Megabits per
second (Mbps) using the 100BASE-T standard. Crestron takes advantage
of this specification for a variety of audio and video applications.
Crestron recommends using CresCAT-IM (or D) wire for transmitting
video signals from the CH port.
When using a Crestron wiring solution, the CresCAT-IM (or D) wire can
carry video signals up to 500 feet (152 meters) (observe distance
limitations based upon power consumption for the device in use).
For more information, refer to the latest version of the Crestron CAT5
Wiring Reference Guide (Doc. 6137), which is available for download
from the Crestron website (www.crestron.com/manuals).
Installation
The ABVR-1 can be mounted in a rack or to any surface using the
integral mounting flanges. Mounting hardware is not provided.
Hardware Hookup
Connect the
Device Make the necessary connections as called out in the illustration that
follows this paragraph. Apply power after all connections have been
made.
When making connections to the ABVR-1, use Crestron power supplies
for Crestron equipment.
