Twisted Pair Cable Termination
Figure 8 details the recommended termination of twisted pair cables with RJ-45 connectors
in accordance with the TIA/EIA T568A or TIA/EIA T568B wiring standards. You can use
either standard with CAT 5, 5e, and 6 cable, but ensure that you use the same standard
on both ends of the cable.

NOTES:
• RJ-45 termination with CAT 5, 5e, or 6 cable must comply with the
TIA/EIA T568A or TIA/EIA T568B wiring standards for all connections.
• RJ-45 termination with Skew-Free AV UTP cable must comply with
TIA/EIA T568A only.
• For proper grounding of shielded twisted pair cable, ensure the shield around
each wire pair are all tied to the RJ-45 connectors on both ends, in accordance with
the connector specifications provided by the manufacturer.
• Extron Enhanced Skew-Free AV cable is not recommended for
Ethernet/LAN applications. This cable is specially designed for compatibility with
Extron Twisted Pair products that are wired using the TIA/EIA T568A standard.
• The green, brown, and blue wire pairs of this cable have virtually identical lengths
and should be used to transmit the RGB signals.
• The orange wire pair of this cable has a different length and should not be used to
transmit the RGB signals.
