Fx4’s, a distribution unit is required (not supplied).

The Fx4 is supplied with HDMI cable locks which should be used on non lockable HDMI cables to ensure they remain firmly
attached to the Fx4.
Connecting HDMI Input Cable
6.3 Connecting Input Sources
The Datapath Fx4 has three dedicated input connectors 2 x HDMI and 1 x DisplayPort. It is strongly recommended that locking
cables are used to prevent the input source cables from becoming detached from the Fx4. HDMI Cable Locks are provided and
should be attached to your cables as shown above:
Thread the cable tie through the
holes in the side of the cable lock.
Sit the cable lock on the top of the
HDMI cable connector ensuring the
cable lock is flush with the front of
the shroud on the HDMI connector.
Pull the cable tie tightly and ensure
it fits firmly on the HDMI connector
shroud.
