Installation
This section covers how to install and connect the product. It also provides safety information and other
guidance related to installing the product.
Don’t void your warranty!
Caution
This product is for indoor use. Do not install it outdoors or in a humid environment without the appropriate
protective enclosure. Do not allow it to come into contact with any liquid.
Do not install or operate this product if it has been dropped, damaged, or exposed to liquids. If any of
these things happen, return it to Vaddio for safety and functional testing.
Cabling notes
Best practices for making cables:
nUse Cat-5e or better cable. We recommend shielded cabling if the cables will be coiled,
run tightly with other cables, or placed close to sources of electromagnetic interference
such as power lines or fluorescent light fixtures.
nUse high-quality standard RJ-45 connectors; 568B termination recommended.
nUse a high-quality crimping tool.
Caution
When building cables for Vaddio products, do not use pass-through RJ-45 connectors. If
they are crimped incorrectly, they can cause intermittent connections and degrade
signal quality. Incorrectly crimped pass-through connectors can also damage the
connectors on the product, which will void your warranty.
Intact – will make reliable contact
with the cable connector
Damaged – Bent contact fingers
will NOT make reliable contact
with the cable connector
Caution
Check your cables. Connecting a cable to the wrong port or using the wrong pin-out can result in
equipment damage and will void the warranty.
Pro tip
To prevent tragic mishaps, label both ends of every cable.
