entirety before running or terminating the wires to ensure proper operation and to avoid damaging equipment.
IMPORTANT! Wiring Guidelines
• The use of patch panels, wall plates, cable extenders, kinks in cables, and
electrical or environmental interference will have an adverse effect on
signal transmission which may limit performance. Steps should be taken
to minimize or remove these factors completely during installation for best
results.
• WyreStorm recommends using pre-terminated HDMI and DP cables due to
the complexity of these connector types. Using pre-terminated cables will
ensure that these connections are accurate and will not interfere with the
performance of the product.

1000BASE-T Ethernet device port. Refer to IEEE 802.3ab for ofcial guidance
on the Ethernet link. Cables must be tested to 100MHz across the entire link.
1000BASE-T uses the IEC 60603-7 8P8C modular connector.
