Pre-Wiring
D5IP Digital Audio Source Input Plate to D5KP Keypad and D5SH Hub
The D5IP and all associated components are wired using CAT-5 terminated to the T-568A Wiring
Standard (Figure 2.1). When pre-wiring, run lengths of CAT-5 from the pre-determined equipment
location (the “head-end”) to each Amplifier Keypad location. The CAT-5 routes all audio, power, IR
and status information needed for full system operation. Use a 110 Punchdown tool to connect the
CAT-5 wiring to the Digital Audio Distribution Hub.
Note: For maximum performance over long runs (more than 150 ft) run an additional 16AWG 2-
conductor wire for external power.
