CONSOLE NETWORK OUT/IN connectors
These RJ-45 connectors allow the unit to be connected to a Console Network(*) in a ring topology via Ethernet cables
(CAT5e or higher recommended).
Console Network
A DSP engine is equipped with a special control surface terminal to connect to a control surface. A network
created by the control surface and a DSP engine is called a “Console Network.”
NOTE
Use an STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) cable to prevent electromagnetic interference. Make sure that the metal parts of the plugs
are electrically connected to the STP cable's shield by conductive tape or comparable means. The use of Ethernet cables with
Neutrik etherCON CAT5 compatible RJ-45 plugs is recommended. Standard RJ-45 plugs can also be used. Cable length can
span up to 100 meters between devices. Maximum practical distance may vary depending on the cable used.
