Ethernet Control

wiring standard.
Connect EthernetCables to a Fixture
The following instructions are guidelines for connecting Ethernet to your fixture. Your
installation may vary.
1. Connect a cable from the Ethernet control source to one of the Ethernet ports on the first
fixture in the Ethernet control run.
2. Connect the first fixture to a second fixture by connecting a cable from the second Ethernet
port on the first fixture to one of the Ethernet ports on the second fixture.
3. Continue linking the remaining fixtures by connecting a cable from Ethernet port to Ethernet
port on the fixtures on the control run.
Note:
The Cat5e cable distance should not exceed 100 m (328 ft), and you should not
connect more than 20 fixtures in one Ethernet control run when the fixtures are linked
together.
