OnQ InQuire Cat5 Home Intercom Kit (Almond)
Complete intercom system allows you to connect up to 12 Indoor Stations, and 3 door stations using Cat5 cable.
The InQuire Intercom Supports up to 12 indoor locations, up to 3 door locations, and one main location. The InQuire Cat 5 Intercom Module and Main Console Unit are the central components of the Cat 5 Intercom System. The Cat 5 Intercom Module integrates with any OnQ enclosure and serves as the central hub for the system. It allows you to maintain a true structured wiring system by allowing you to home run all cabling to the module which you install inside the enclosure. This configuration is more standards based, and much easier to wire than traditional intercom systems on the market today. In addition to standard system features like Talk, Door, and volume control, the Main Console Unit features LED status indicators which show system activity, a dedicated door release button, and a dedicated talk hands free button. The Main Console Unit is installed in a standard 3-gang box and is trimmed out with a standard 3-gang decorator wallplate.
