Epica DGX 32 Instruction Manual
Enclosures and Ethernet Connectors
The method used for linking depends on the type of Ethernet connector on each enclosure’s CPU.
The table below indicates the type of Ethernet connectors available on AMX AutoPatch enclosures.
* The RJ-45 port is labeled “Enc Link.”
Link Cables and Equipment
AMX provides link cables and equipment for enclosures that are ordered as part of a linked system.
The Epica DGX 32 can link to another Epica DGX 32 or to other AMX AutoPatch Distribution Matrices
using the cable and equipment specified in the table below. A Multi-Port (8 or 5) Switch is also provided
for some types of multiple-enclosure systems. Either RJ-45 crossover cable (provided) or RJ-45
straight-through patch cable can be used because the Enc Link ports on the Epica DGX 32 enclosure
automatically adjust to either type of cable.
Link Cables and Equipment List
RJ-45 Crossover Cable:
use for direct linking between two or more Epica DGX 32
enclosures or between an Epica DGX 32 and any other 10Base-T enclosure; also used to
connect 10Base-T (RJ-45) enclosures to a Media Converter or to a Multi-Port Switch.
The cable is wired to TIA/EIA-568-A on one end and TIA/EIA-568-B on the other end.
RG-58 Coax Cable:
use to connect a 10Base-2 (BNC) enclosure to a Media Converter
(also used to daisy chain 10Base-2 enclosures).
Media Converter:
use when linking a 10Base-T (RJ-45) enclosure to a 10Base-2 (BNC)
enclosure.
Multi-Port Switch:
use when linking some types of multiple-enclosure systems.
Note: RJ-45 straight-through patch cable can also be used for direct linking between 10Base-T
enclosures or to connect a 10Base-T (RJ-45) enclosure to a Media Converter or to a Multi-Port
Switch. Both ends of the cable are wired to TIA/EIA-568-A.
