!
1) Excessively large RJ45 cables will not fit the strain relief guides. RJ45 plugs with excessively bulky rubber boot will
not fit the connectors on the MPS properly; see cable and rubber boot dimensions in Figure 1 (page 8).
Suitable CAT5 patch leads are supplied with the microphone (ASL P/N 208440).
2) For EMC compliance:
•
Screened cables must be used where specified.
•
All screen tails must be less than 3 cm.
