To interconnect the extender’s Local and Remote Units, you’ll need industry-
standard structured cabling (Category 5 UTP or STP, 4-pair) terminated with RJ-45
plugs. Order CAT5 patch cables such as our product code EYN737MS or CAT5
bulk cable such as our EYN840A. The bulk cable should be terminated with high-
quality RJ-45 plugs such as those included in our FM732 25-pack.
