With both stand-alone chassis frame or Cheetah video router frame installations, these 3-
contact connectors are wired in parallel, and provide RS-485 serial communication interfaces
using the PESA Remote Control Panel (RCP) Protocol (Document No. 81-9062-0300-0).
Connector styles and pin-outs for RCP connectors used on stand-alone
chassis and Cheetah video router frame are different!!
Pay very close attention to use proper pin-outs, as shown by illustrations in
Figure 3-14, for type of chassis in which your controller card is mounted!!
Any of the connectors may be used to originate an RCP bus which is connected to RCP
protocol compatible PESA Remote Control Panels with daisy-chained cables constructed with
3-contact connectors (PESA Part No. 81-9029-0780-0) and shielded, twisted-pair audio cable
(PESA Part No. 81-9028-0043-2, Belden 8451, or equivalent) as shown in Figures 3-14 and 3-
15. The connector body has an integral strain relief, which requires the use of a nylon cable tie
included with the connector. If this cable tie is not available, PESA Part No. 81-9021-0028-8,
or equivalent, may be used.
