Connections to external devices via the Miscellaneous connector, use
the included DB-15M connector to construct one or more cables to
connect external devices to the panel.
The following sections describe connecting the panel to the matrix
frame, and all the connections between the panel and local devices.
Each of the following sections describes cable and panel connector
wiring:
• Analog matrix frame to panel wiring
• Digital matrix frame to panel wiring
• Matrix panel Miscellaneous connector wiring
• OPT-100 Auxiliary Audio I/O option
• Binaural headset wiring
ANALOG MATRIX FRAME TO PANEL WIRING
The analog audio RS-422 data communications module (COM-10)
uses a 4-pair wiring scheme between the frame and panels. This
module requires an MVX-A16 card in the frame.
Although some Matrix Panels have a DB-15M (male) connector for
connection to the Matrix frame, most have a built-in RJ-45 connector.
For those panels with a DB-15 male connector, Clear-Com provides a
properly wired DB-15F (female) to RJ-45 adapter for direct connection
with RJ-45 terminated cables. Additionally, panels configured for digital
communication are equipped with a BNC.
Four-pair analog wiring is typically wired with shielded CAT5 RJ-45
cable.
• Pair 1 transmits analog audio from the matrix port to the panel.
• Pair 2 transmits RS-422 data from the panel back to the matrix
card port.
• Pair 3 transmits analog audio from the panel to the matrix card
port.
• Pair 4 transmits RS-422 data from the matrix port back to the
panel.
