Echo EchoConnect Cat5 Termination Kit
Overview
The EchoConnect Cat5 station termination kit facilitates termination of Category 5 (or equivalent) c able
on the EchoConnec t c ommunication bus. ETC recommends using Belden 1583A (or approved equal)
wire. The total combined length of an EchoConnec t wire run using Cat5 may not exceed 305 m
(1,000ft). Contact ETC Professional Servic es for guidance when installing a topology -free system.
The included Cat5 term ination board includes a Cat5 input and optionally a Cat5 through c onnection, as
well as a two-position screw terminal for connection between the Cat5 term ination board and an Echo
control station.
This kit includes the following:
Cat5 stati o n termination board
On e ESD gro u nd wire pig tai l with a FASTON connector attached
2 each eigh t-p ositi on female IDC connectors (J3409-F)
3 each cable ties
