CABLING ACCESSORIES
To make your installation smooth and easy, the console can be orde-
red with our pre-made data and audio cables. The standard cables
comes in the length of 4 m with DB type connectors on the con-
sole side and open-end on the other. The un-terminated end can be
s
oldered into your patch panel, have terminals lugs installed, or used
in a punch-down block.
FR CAB GPI
DB9 male connector for GPIs.
FR CAB GPO
DB9 female connector for GPOs or relay contacts.
FR CAB MON
DB9 female connector for 2 monitoring outputs.
FR CAB INP
Male DB15 connector for 4 inputs channels.
FR CAB OUT
Female DB15 connector for 4 output channels.
Cables terminated with connectors on both ends and of other
lengths can be supplied upon request.
