Details: Cat(egory) 5e Cable is an enhanced version of Cat 5 that adds specifi cations for far-end cross-
talk. It replaced the specifi cation for Cat 5 with the 2001 introduction of the
TIA/EIA-568-B standard. Cat 5e cable performance characteristics and test
methods are defi ned in TIA/EIA-568-B.2-2001.
ST MON (RS422) Cables (both ends w. shielded connectors) from the ST MON socket to a monitoring/
TB module:

* Caution: Connectors are identical on the ST MON and the LAN cables. Make sure not
to mix them up since the ST MON socket carries DC supply voltage!
LAN (Ethernet) Cables (both ends w. shielded connectors) for connection of the console to e.g. a
router or an existing OnAir 3000 network. Since modern hubs and switches
have auto polarity selection, straight-through cables may be used in any
case.
