568A：green-white/green/orange-white/blue/blue-white/orange/brown-white/brown

Equipment and Equipment Cable, [Cross]: One end is 568B, and One end is 568A.

Device and Switch Cable, [Crossover]: One end is 568B, and One end is 568A.

Equipment and Computer Cable, [Straight]: One end is 568B, and One end is 568A.

Note: Follow The Requirements, Do Not Define The Network Cable Sequence by Yourself.

II、Wire and connecting method from lights to controller

1. If the distance between controller output port to the lamp is too far , recommended to

use super-five types of shielding network cable connection, the best method is : [Single line

chip]

Orange wire in the network cable : connect to DATA( data wire )

Note: All remaining unused wires must be connected to GND (ground)

[Double-line chip]

Orange wire in the network cable : connect to DATA( data line )

Green wire in the network cable : connect to CLK (clock line)

Note: All remaining unused wires must be connected to GND (ground)

[Differential output]

Orange wire in the network cable : connect to DATA+ （Data line positive）

Orange-white wire in the network cable : connect to DATA- (Negative data line)

Note: All remaining unused wires must be connected to GND (ground)

2. wires wrapped together to connect the signals at the same time , such as orange and

orange-white connect to the data at the same time.

III、Controller Connect to Ground Application Notes

MR-228DW Controller Using Metal case，Rated Supply Voltage is AC100V-240V，Therefore,

it is Necessary to Ensure The Effective Grounding of The Controller Equipment and The

Effective Grounding of The Metal Outer Box。

And the OutPut Port of The Controller is Exposed to The Metal Contact Surface ，

Therefore, According to The Requirements of Safety Regulations，to Ensure Safe Use of The

Operator，Signal OutPut Port GND Signal Must be Effectively Grounded.
