I was wondering if all eight wires of the Cat5-cable are used. Is this the case? If not, which wires are really being used?
No one answered so I've done some hands-on research:
Only four wires are used, in T568B scheme these colours are being used: green, brown, blue and white/blue.
4 data and 4 for power as I recall...I did a mod some years back to control an SV Mk1 and a Flextone IIIXL from one FBV. There's 9VDC on the other wires. The reason for doubling up the wire on the power is because it is DC and the longer the cable the more loss there is...There's a post over in the SV forum about it...
Stay in the mix and in the know.
