2.Multimedia cables and Wire

The extremely high volume of information in today’s
and tomorrow’s technology requires that the cables
and wires inside your walls that are connected to the
Pro panel be of high quality. There will be different
types and combinations of cables used with the
FutureSmart Pro panel. The black and pink cables
are known as “coaxial RG6 quad shield cable”.
This kind of cable is used to send TV video signal to
the outlets in the rooms and to send signals from the
room to the panel. The blue and yellow cables are

“Category 5e or 6 Category twisted pair
telephone
cables”. These

cables are
generally used for
phone, fax outlets
and to connecting
computers
together.

Together with
these single cables you may find a Multimedia
cable that is 2- Rg6 cables and 2-Category 5e or 6
cables that are bundled or jacketed together. Or the
same cable with the addition of an orange and gray
cable, which are fiber optics that in the future, will be

used to send all (video, computer, and phone) types
of signal at a very high speed and rate. All of these
cables are “Home Run” which means that from the
Pro panel each cables run out to one location and
one location only.

3. Multimedia Outlets

The Multi Media outlet or single phone and TV
outlets will be found in each room that a “Home run “
cable or wire is run to. They are installed at
convenient locations through out the home to access
the information coming into the Pro/SuperPro panel.
The Multimedia outlet you can access different
kinds of information at one outlet such as phone, TV,
and Internet service.

Optional outlets you may
have, contain a different
version of the Multimedia
outlet. These versions may
contain different qualities of
cables it may be as simply
as a single port plates with
just a phone or TV
connector or you could
have and combination of
the two types.
