Wiring and Connections
WyreStorm recommends that all wiring for the installation is run and terminated prior to making connections to the switcher. Read through this section in this entirety before running or terminating the wires to ensure proper operation and to avoid damaging equipment.

IMPORTANT! Wiring Guidelines
- The use of patch panels, wall plates, cable extenders, kinks in cables, and electrical or environmental interference will have an adverse effect on HDMI and Ethernet transmission limiting performance. Steps should be taken to minimize or remove these factors completely during installation for best results.
- WyreStorm recommends using high quality HDMI cables such as WyreStorm Express to ensure the highest content performance available.
- The type of category cable and length used can restrict the available video resolution. While Cat5e can be used, WyreStorm recommends using Cat6 or higher to ensure the highest content performance available. See Video Resolutions in the Specifications table before determining cable type and length.
HDMI Wiring
WyreStorm recommends using pre-terminated HDMI cables due to the complexity of these connector types. Using pre-terminated cables will ensure that these connections are accurate and will not interfere with the performance of the product.
IR Wiring

IMPORTANT! IR TX/RX Guidelines
- WyreStorm IR ports function differently than standard IR ports. For this reason only WyreStorm IR emitters and receivers can be used.
- WyreStorm IR emitter and receiver cables cannot be spliced as cutting into the cables will short the shield. While an extension cable may be used, WyreStorm assumes no responsibility for operation using an extension cable.
- When connecting the IR TX to an IR connecting blocks or control system with different plugs, a cable must be made following the IR TX Port Pinout diagram.
- When connecting to an IR control system use the WyreStorm CAB-IR-LINK cable. This cable compensates for differences between the WyreStorm RX and the control systems TX connection. Visit the WyreStorm CAB-IR-LINK product page for details.
RS-232 Wiring
Most control systems and computers are DTE where pin 2 is RX, this can vary from device to device. Refer to the documentation for the connected device for pin functionally to ensure that the correct connections can be made.
