[. . . ] The Hub provides the connection for source equipment, volume controls, infrared emitters and power supply. The A-H484, A-H4, A-H4D, and A-H2 are examples of A-BUS Hubs. The A-H484, A-H4, and A-H2 are surface-mount units. The A-H4D is an inwall Decora© style unit. Power Supply: The power supply plugs into the Hub. The Russound A-PS 24VDC/2. 5A unit is an example. The A-VC2 is an in-wall, A-BUS Amplified Control Module with a rotary control for speaker volume level and power on/off. The A-VC2 connects to A-BUS Hubs or A-BUS-Ready receivers using CAT-5 wiring, and to loudspeakers using conventional speaker wire. IMPORTANT ­ Before installation, review the manuals included with each component in your system. If you are unsure of any of the installation procedures described herein or elsewhere, consult a professional electronics installer. 6 MOUNTING Check all connections and test the system's operation before installing the A-VC2 into the wall.

For clean installations, use RJ45 CAT-5 patch cables to connect from the Hub to an RJ45 Wall Plate (optional), and then wire from the Wall Plate to the Amplified Module (see diagram). The Amplified Control Modules have 110 punchdown connectors for the 8 individual conductors of the CAT-5 cable (use a punchdown tool with a 110 blade to insert conductors). NOTE: When wiring directly to an Amplified Control Module (i. e. , not using an RJ45 Wall Plate) use T568A RJ45 wire configuration for connection to the hub.
