3.1.16 Console connections: Data link
Each DCX-DVR module is linked via a shielded (S/FTP or S/STP) CAT6a or CAT7 cable either to a central DCX1000/3000 Switch
module (multi-system matrix installation) or directly to a DCX SAM module (single system installation).
For best results use shielded (S/FTP or S/STP) CAT6a or CAT7 cables to link all DCX SAM modules - do not exceed 50 meters
(164 feet).
3.1.16.1 To link the DCX-DVR module
1 Connect a suitable shielded (S/FTP or S/STP) CAT6a or CAT7 cable to the LINK socket on
the rear panel of the DCX-DVR module. Connect the other end of the cable to either a
DCX1000/3000 Switch or directly to a DCX SAM host module.
