4.3 500-41 Series Desktop Panels
These differ from the other control panels since the matrix link is via a RJ-45 connector. The
pin-out is given in the table below. To make a cable, use a 9-way plug at the matrix end. The
following wiring applies to panels marked "Mod State 2" and later. Earlier panels had pins 4
and 6 transposed internally, with corresponding changes to the interconnecting cable. The
later wiring allows operation over longer lengths of structured cabling.
