Using CAT-5 Cable to Connect MKP Keypads to MZC-88
CAT-5 WITHOUT RJ45 CONNECTORS — Maximum recommended lead length with CAT-5 cable is 1000' (305m). The 3
unused leads of the CAT-5 cable can be connected in parallel, one, with each of the +12V, GND and IR/IO leads, for better
performance when using long cable lengths.
CAT-5 WITH RJ45 CONNECTORS — When using RJ45 connectors, connect the CAT-5 cable to the keypads using
SpeakerCraft model RJA-1.1 RJ45-TO-WIRE PIN ADAPTERS. (Refer to Figures 17 and 18) Insert the RJA-1.1 pins into the
keypad’s EZ-Connect Terminals and snap the levers in place. RJA1.1’s can be used at both the keypad and KCM-1.0 ends, if
desired. Be sure RJA-1.1 pin orientation is correct prior to powering up the system.
