What is A-BUS?
Wiring homes for A-BUS is simple – only one CAT 5 cable is
required between the hub and the A-BUS power module in each room or
zone.
Since every A-BUS power module has its own amplification each zone
has infinitely variable volume leaving the main system speakers sound
quality unaffected.
A-BUS CAT 5 wiring is so easy and economical, builders and home
owners can wire every room for audio giving homeowners greater
flexibility for the future. Building A-BUS-wired homes now makes
them an asset for future expansion and upgrades.
The beauty of A-BUS is simplicity itself.
The signal CAT 5 cable that's required to each room carries
Full frequency audio signal
System power for the amplifiers and keypads
IR (infrareds) data for remote control of the main system
System status through the built-in Status LED.
Wiring is simple:one CAT 5 cable goes to each room's amplified
keypad from the main system. Cable runs can be up to 50m(150 feet).
Speaker wire should be run from the keypad to in-wall or in-ceiling
speakers. For future considerations, CAT 5 should also be run in
parallel to the speaker cable.
Connecting A-BUS is really easy with CAT 5. All
behind-the-wall connections are punchdowns and surface connectors
are RJ-45 sockets. Connecting A-BUS after pre-wire is truly plug
and play.
