1. Introduction
The On-Q /Legrand Single Source 4 Zone Audio Distribution
Hub, PN F7396 (see Figure 1), is an integral part of the
Category 5 Audio System. It is a component which, when
combined with other essential components and your source
equipment receiver, CD player, etc, creates a versatile whole-
house audio system that will fill your rooms with high-quality
sound for years to come. Category 5 technology is a new,
innovative method of providing high quality audio to remote
locations with a single 8-conductor cable such as Category 5.
This technology provides many advantages over other
conventional methods of audio distribution such as simple,
single Category 5 wiring scheme, and infrared control of
system components.

2. Description
All components of the Category 5 Audio System are wired centrally from the Category 5 Audio Distribution Hub
located within the structured wiring enclosure. In addition to providing a central point of connection, the Hub
distributes the necessary voltage to power the system. The Single Source Input and Volume Controls connect
directly to the module utilizing RJ-45 connections. The system can support multiple modules through “daisy
chaining” the Audio Distribution Hubs.
NOTE: The 24 volt, 2.5 amp Power Supply, PN F7723, is not included and must be purchased separately.
3. Installation
Installation of the On-Q/Legrand Audio Distribution Hub and related components, is best accomplished at
multiple times during new construction, at “Rough-in” before the drywall is installed, and at “Trim-out” after the
drywall is installed and painted.
IMPORTANT: Read the manuals that are included with all associated Category 5 Audio products before
installation of any single component! If you are unsure of any of the following installation procedures
contact On-Q/Legrand Technical Support @ 1-800-321-2343 option 1 or contact an On-Q/Legrand
installer.
NOTE: The Category 5 Audio Distribution Hub provides power to all of the components of the Category 5
Audio System.
NOTE: To provide ultimate flexibility for future products, run two Category 5 cables from the Single
Source Input to the Single Source 4 Zone Distribution Hub. Also, run a 16/2 or 16/4 speaker cable, along
with the Category 5 cable, from the Single Source 4 Zone Distribution Hub to each volume control
location.

4. Important Safety Precautions:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING THE CATEGORY 5 AUDIO SYSTEM.
• Do not attempt to service, move or change any component of this system unless you are qualified to do so.
• This system should be installed by a qualified installer and must conform to all local building and electrical codes.
• Do not apply power to the Category 5 Audio System until all components have been installed and all wiring has been
properly terminated.
• Do not attempt to terminate, change or un-install any wiring without first turning off power at the Category 5 Audio System
which is located in the enclosure. Unplug the power transformer that is powering the Category 5 Audio System from the
power outlet before proceeding with wiring terminations or changes.
• Install each component of this system away from heat sources such as HVAC ducts/registers, stoves or any other heat
source.
• Do not expose any component that was designed for indoor use to moisture. Doing so can create electrical hazards or
render the component unusable. Exposure to moisture will also void the warranty on the system.
• Only use a damp cloth to clean the cover plates of the system components. Do not use vacuum cleaners, liquid or aerosol
cleaners.
