RJ-45 Connections
The CAT-5 T568A wiring standard shown on
the right is used for the RJ-45 terminations.

Keypad Wiring
For the KP4 or KPL keypad, the following con-
nections are used to terminate the CAT-5 wire to
the 110 punchdown on the keypad:

• To determine the amount of CAT-5 wire
required for the system installation, first
decide how many keypads will be used, then
determine the distance between each intend-
ed keypad location to the planned CAS44
location. The maximum recommended wire
run length is 250 feet for each KP4 or KPL
keypad.

• Make sure that the entire wire path
between keypads and CAS44 is clear and
not obstructed by a floor ceiling joist, or
masonry wall which can’t be drilled through.

• Confirm ahead of time that you can drill an
outlet hole easily and in an unobtrusive spot
to connect wires with the CAS44. 

• Label wires with keypad and room location.
This simplifies CAS44 hook-up once the key-
pads and speakers are installed.

Speaker Wiring
Standard 16-gauge 4-conductor stranded speak-
er wire can be run up to to 125 feet; 14-gauge
wire can be run up to 250 feet.

When running wire, pay particular attention to
the following areas: 

• Avoid locations concealing pipes, heating
ducts and AC wiring in the general vicinity. 

• Avoid running wires close to house electrical
wiring for any distance. If you have to run them
parallel, make sure to space the wires at least
two feet from the AC line.
