Connections from the RS485 device to the speaker is as follows From RS485 Device RJ45 To Vnet Network Pint ooo Pin 1 Network connections between nodes are via rugged Neutrik ethercon connectors these are high quality and are compatible with standard RJ45 plugs Node connections are made using standard RJ45 connectors and CAT5 cable Long runs should be solid core but standard is fine The implication is that stranded is more robust and less prone to breakage it is therefore suggested that solid should be used for install applications while stranded is better suited to rental applications Cabinets can be daisy chained or linked in a star configuration or a combination of both Quality termination of all connectors at each node is essential for the network to function correctly 6 1 LINKING CABINETS The table below shows the standard straight through convention for CAT5 patch cables clip down These can be used between network nodes Bear in mind though that only Pins 1 2 amp 5 are used to link the network together V nn v Shite Po BV Green Cos v s bom To aid the construction of very large networks each speaker provides a source of power 12Volts on the network Link connector that can be used to seamlessly power network extenders or repeaters that large networks may require This power can be located on pin 4 on the NETWORK LINK connector This power is passed between the NE
