The XOi uses Cat-5 cable for keypad control and either two- or four-conductor 16-
gauge speaker wire. All the wire is homerun from each zone to the XOi.
The XOi digital home systems require Cat-5, unshielded, twisted pair (UTP), for
communication between the keypads/display pads and the main XOi unit. Each end
of the wire is terminated with an RJ45 connector.
The XOi system can accommodate 500 total feet of Cat-5 cable for each zone. For
the most reliable operation, it is best that no single run of Cat-5 exceeds 250 feet.
The correct wiring scheme for the Cat-5 cable is standard EIA/TIA 568A. Properly
terminating the Cat-5 cable is crucial for the operation of the system. It is very
important to use a good quality crimp tool, and testing each end to end run with Cat-
5 wire tester will insure that your system operate flawlessly, Fig. 1.
