Router Control Cable
Remote router control is performed via 10/100Base-T Ethernet or serial. If router control is
performed via Ethernet, the integrated Videohub Server is used. This means you only need to
provide an Ethernet cable to connect Universal Videohub288 to your Ethernet network switch.
Third party router controllers can control Universal Videohub288 via Ethernet, or as an RS-422
slave device, for router crosspoint switching. Please refer to the Developer Information section
of this manual for Videohub and RS-422 protocols.
Power Supply
When fully populated and running at maximum power consumption, Universal Videohub288
can be powered by a single Universal Videohub Power Supply.
The Universal Videohub Power Supply package includes a power card with a single connection
to a 1RU size rack mount chassis which contains the power supply.
The Universal Videohub Power Supply chassis contains a universal power supply for use in all
countries. You will need to provide a standard IEC cord with a C13 connector.

Building Universal Videohub288
25 rack units of space should be reserved for the installation of Universal Videohub288 and
two rack mount power supply chassis, allowing free space for heat dissipation. Only 23RU
is required if Universal Videohub288 is mounted at the top of an open rack as heat can be
dissipated from the top.
Universal Videohub288 is 18RU high and 6 inches thick. You can rack mount Universal
Videohub288 facing forwards or reversed, or even mount it in the rear of the rack to leave
space for other equipment.
Universal Videohub288 contains electrostatic sensitive devices. It is essential to discharge
yourself of static electricity before handling any of these devices, just as you would when
installing devices into a computer. We recommend the use of an antistatic wrist strap when
handling any of these devices.
