DISTRIBUTION HUB
1. Introduction
The On-Q /Legrand Single Source 4 Zone Audio Distribution
Hub, PN F7396 (see Figure 1), is an integral part of the
Category 5 Audio System. It is a component which, when
combined with other essential components and your source
equipment receiver, CD player, etc, creates a versatile wholehouse audio system that will fill your rooms with high-quality
sound for years to come. Category 5 technology is a new,
innovative method of providing high quality audio to remote
locations with a single 8-conductor cable such as Category 5.
This technology provides many advantages over other
conventional methods of audio distribution such as simple,
single Category 5 wiring scheme, and infrared control of
system components.
2. Description
All components of the Category 5 Audio System are wired centrally from the Category 5 Audio Distribution Hub
located within the structured wiring enclosure. In addition to providing a central point of connection, the Hub
distributes the necessary voltage to power the system. The Single Source Input and Volume Controls connect
directly to the module utilizing RJ-45 connections. The system can support multiple modules through “daisy
chaining” the Audio Distribution Hubs.
NOTE: The 24 volt, 2.5 amp Power Supply, PN F7723, is not included and must be purchased separately .
3. Installation
Installation of the On-Q/Legrand Audio Distribution Hub and related components, is best accomplished at
multiple times during new construction, at “Rough-in” before the drywall is installed, and at “Trim-out” after the
drywall is installed and painted.
IMPORTANT: Read the manuals that are included with all associated Category 5 Audio produc ts before
installation of any single component! If you are unsure of any of the following installation procedures
contact On-Q/Legrand Technical Support @ 1-800-321-2343 option 1 or contact an On-Q/Legran d
installer.
NOTE: The Category 5 Audio Distribution Hub provides power to all of the components of the Category 5
Audio System.
NOTE: To provide ultimate flexibility for future products, run two Category 5 cables from the Single
Source Input to the Single Source 4 Zone Distribution Hub. Also, run a 16/2 or 16/4 speaker cable, along
with the Category 5 cable, from the Single Source 4 Zone Distribution Hub to each volume control
location.

DISTRIBUTION HUB
A. “Rough-in” steps:
1. Run a Category 5 cable from the room location containing the Single Source Input (typically the
entertainment center location) to the Category 5 Audio Distribution Module located in the Enclosure.
2. Run Category 5 cables from the room locations containing the Volume Controls to the Category 5 Audio
Distribution Module located in the Enclosure.
B. “Trim-out” steps:
NOTE: Make sure that the Power Supply is not connected to the Audio Distribution Hub.
1. Install one or more Audio Distribution Hubs in the enclosure using the 4 corne r plungers.
2. Terminate all Category 5 cables
with RJ-45 plugs using the T568A
wiring standard.
3. Connect the Single Source Input
AUDIO OUT jack via a Category 5
jumper such as the 36” PN
363201-30, to a wall jack with an
RJ-45 insert. This jack in turn
should be wired to the SOURCE IN
jack of the Audio Distribution Hub
(see Figure 2).
4. Connect the Category 5 cables
coming from the room locations
containing the Volume Controls to
the Zone Output jacks on the Audio
Distribution Hub (see Figure 2).
5. If applicable, connect additional
Audio Distribution Hubs together by
connecting a Category 5 jumper
cable from the CASCADE OUT jack
on one Hub to the SOURCE IN jack
on the other Hub.
6. Plug the 24 volt power supply cable
into the Power jack on the Audio
Distribution Hub.
7. Verify system functionality.
