Constructing Link Link communication cables can be constructed using an

Communication Cables 8-conductor modular telephone cable with the appropriate plug

crimped on each end.

• Use an 8-pin RJ-45 plug when connecting to a preamplifier.

RJ-45 plugs provide an 8-pin connection.

• Use a 6-pin RJ-11 plug when connecting to a power amplifier.

RJ-11 plugs provide a 6-pin connection in which connector

pins 7 and 8 are not used.

Note BEFORE making Link connections, refer to the appropriate

documentation for Link or communication port

specifications for other Mark Levinson components.

When linking components with constructed Link communication

cables, twist the cable 180˚ as shown in the illustration below for

a straight-through (pin 1-to-pin 1) connection.
