3. Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to set up your Logitech CAT5E KIT TAP Graphite:

Prepare the Cables: The kit includes 10 meters of Cat5e cabling. If a longer run is required (up to 40 meters), you may use your own Cat5e or higher cabling. For custom lengths, cables can be cut and crimped to exact specifications to minimize clutter.
Connect the Adapters: Identify the USB data and power adapters. One adapter connects to the Logitech Tap device, and the other connects to the meeting room computer.
Connect Cat5e Cable: Connect one end of the Cat5e cable to the adapter connected to the Logitech Tap. Connect the other end of the Cat5e cable to the adapter connected to the meeting room computer. Ensure secure connections at both ends.
Connect Power Supply: Plug the power supply unit into a suitable power outlet and connect it to the designated power input on the appropriate adapter (typically the one near the computer or power injector). This supplies power over the Cat5e cable to the Logitech Tap.
Integrate with Mounts (Optional): If using a Logitech Tap Table Mount, Riser Mount, or Wall Mount, route the Cat5e cable through the mount's integrated cable management system for a clean and secure installation.

4. Operating Instructions

Once the Logitech CAT5E KIT TAP Graphite is properly installed and connected, it operates automatically. The kit facilitates the transmission of both USB data and power from the meeting room computer to the Logitech Tap device over a single Cat5e cable.

Ensure that the meeting room computer and the Logitech Tap are powered on. The kit will then provide the necessary connectivity for the Tap to function as intended within your meeting room setup. No additional user interaction is required for the kit itself beyond initial setup.

5. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Logitech CAT5E KIT TAP Graphite, consider the following maintenance guidelines:

Cable Care: Avoid sharp bends, kinks, or excessive pulling on the Cat5e cables. This can damage the internal wires and affect performance.
Connector Protection: Keep the RJ45 connectors clean and free from dust or debris. Avoid forcing connectors into ports.
Environmental Conditions: Store and operate the kit in a dry environment, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
Cleaning: If necessary, gently wipe the external surfaces of the adapters and power supply with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
