Hello All

I am about to put in some CAT7 cable under my floor before installing the covering.

Currently there is masterlink and this is just conencted two a junction box at each end but as this will be under the floor i would like to put in CAT si if need be I can use it for something new and wonderful in the future.

What is the pin configuration for this cable so i can use some for ML in the mean time.

thanks

Hay thanks for the PDF.

I spoke to my local dealer today and he said just split up the cat 7 cable in the following way.

1pair - right speaker

1pair - left speaker

1pair - for ml sense and to replace pink and blue together.

1pair - data and -

Not 100% sure how to ground the cat 7 as the is a shield and not dedicated wires for ground and croning those into junction boxes might be tough.

Those that have used cat 5 as a cheaper version that masterlink how did you ground the cable?

Thanks all
