Other Materials You May Need
• Patch cables (RCA, optical and 3.5mm)
• Infrared emitters and/or infrared remote control receivers—for remote wallplate/receiver IR functionality
• Cat 5e/6 cable—for remote outputs; consider buying a different jacket color for A and B cables
• RJ-45 plugs—for remote outputs; EZ RJ-45 plugs are recommended
• Professional network cable tester—continuity testing is not adequate for Cat 5 cables–twisted pairs must
be properly matched for balanced line performance, so a tester capable of confirming pairs is required
We strongly recommend testing factory-made cables as well as site-fabricated cables!
All cables must have proper EIA-568B pairing (not crossover configuration) for proper function.
(The EIA-568A standard can also be used, but mixing the two standards could result in confusion.)

Many possibilities exist for adapting or actively
converting various signal types to work with
the AVAtrix. Refer to the accessory descrip-
