Audio connections
Each audio connection on the CAB and NION products is a single, three-wire, balanced
analog circuit. The connections are identical for both microphone, line input and line output
connections. We recommend that audio connections are made with high quality shielded wire.
Notes:
As with any electronic connection, care should be taken to ensure that the termination is
solid. There should be no stray wire strands, kinks or nicks in the wire jacket for a proper
termination.
Stranded wires should not be soldered. Solder will cold flow under the pressure of the
screw terminal, causing a loose connection to develop over time.
If you want to connect an unbalanced audio source to the CAB or NION, make the connections
as shown in the table below.

CAT 5 connections
Category 5 cable, or CAT 5 as it is commonly known, is a wiring standard that consists of 8
conductors, identified into 4 pairs, and although only two of these pairs are used, all four are
terminated.
It is a UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) configuration. The cable is coupled to in-line RJ-45
connectors, also a Bell/AT&T standard. Special crimping tools are required to make the
termination; these are widely available, as are the connectors.
