Guys,

I have used RK1-8's on two installations over the years...so I have a small knowledge of them.

I know you can only group up to 2 RK1-8 on each cat 5 cable headed back to a CB-4 connecting block when connecting several rooms.

My question is...if the prewire to each room has only 1 cat 5 wire at the RK1-8 location, does the RK1-8 need more than 2 pairs of wires punched down in an RJ45 to operate it?

**As you can tell...I would like to split a cat 5 and use up to 4 keypads at each room location (ideally 3 RK1-8's at each location)...but each room only has 1 cat 5 wire pre wired.

Thanks for your thoughts...missed RTi support this afternoon and trying to get a price out tonight.

Wouldn't it make more sense to put in a kx2 rather than a huge line of push-button keypads?

Yes....client is firm they want keypads.

Heard back from support...no more than 2 keypads on 1 cat 5....3 pairs get used per location (regardless of a slave keypad joined).

Thanks
