For clean installations, use RJ45 CAT-5 patch cables to connect from the Hub to an RJ45 Wall Plate (optional), and then wire from the Wall Plate to the Amplified Control Module (see diagram). The Amplified Control Modules have 110 punchdown connectors for the 8 individual conductors of the CAT-5 cable (use a punchdown tool with a 110 blade to insert conductors). NOTE: When wiring directly to an Amplified Control Module (i. e. , not using an RJ45 Wall Plate) use T568A RJ45 wire configuration for connection to the hub.
