Mechanical Installation of Multiple Matrices
Each MegaPower 48+ unit in a multi-matrix system must be installed and connected to a power supply as explained in
the mechanical installation procedure detailed on page 6.
Network Connections in a Multi-Matrix System
In a multi-matrix system, matrices can be connected together via Ethernet. All ethernet connections should be made
with Cat 5 twisted pair cable with a maximum length of 300 feet. If longer connections are required, hubs and repeaters
are available.
In a system with two matrices, connect the matrix units using a cross-over cable as shown in the following figure.
Connections should be made to the network connector on each matrix.
