Introduction

You can connect beltpacks using:

• A wide range of standard microphone (intercom) cable types (16 AWG – 26 AWG).
• CAT5, CAT5e and CAT6 cable types.

XLR cable	CAT5/6 cable
Pin 1	Pin 1 and Pin 2 and shield/drain wire
Pin 2	Pin 4, Pin 6 and Pin 8
Pin 3	Pin 3, Pin 5 and Pin 7

Clear-Com recommends the following cable types:

Belden 9207 for fixed installation

Belden 9463F for portable installations

Note:

Cat 5 screen should be connected to chassis at one end of cable only.

You can also mix CAT cables and microphone cables when connecting to the Arcadia Central Station. For example, you might use CAT cables to trunk long distances, and flexible microphone cables to connect beltpacks to bulkheads.
