🔌 Looms
- TV looms (powerCON + RJ45): powerCON → any POWER OUT. Data → LEFT half of the Zyxel switch (ports 1–8 = PoE; TVs need PoE).
- SD16 loom: AES → #9. Power → any POWER OUT. Data → the switch, any port.
- From the video rack (two purple cords bundled together): video rack #2 → #2; video rack #3 → #3. Power → #1.
- Rack covers: remove both the front and back covers to prevent overheating.
