The Cat 5e Cable subnetwork data bus is used to connect compatible room devices (Subnetwork Con-
nection Method) to any Distech Controls ECLYPSE series controller. See Subnetwork Module Compat-
ibility and Supported Quantity Charts or a list of compatible extension / expansion modules.
Never connect an IP (Ethernet) network to the SUBNET PORT connector of a controller or RJ-45 connector of a
room device. Equipment damage may result.
Cat 5e Cable Subnetwork Data Bus Cable Requirements
The Cat 5e Cable subnetwork data bus uses commonly available Cat 5e structural cabling fitted with
RJ-45 connectors. If you make your own patch cable, use Category 5e cable and crimp the RJ-45
connectors at both ends of the cable either as T568A or T568B.
