SYSTEM CABLE is available in four stan-
dard lengths: 0.4, 1, 2, and 5 meters
and is used to link Dataton units in a rig.
The cable itself consists of a screen
and three twisted wire pairs. One of
the twisted pairs carries cue data from
the data source to the control units;
one is used for data feedback from the
control units; and one is used to handle
power distribution.
The insulating material used in the cable
is non-PVC and flame retardant. It is
extremely resistant to mechanical and
thermal stress.
USAGE
SYSTEM CABLE carries cue data from
one Dataton control unit to another. Plug
SYSTEM CABLE into the
OUT
connector
of the Dataton control unit closest to the
data source (ie, the computer running
TRAX). Plug the other end into the
IN
connector of the next control unit in the
rig, and so on.
SYSTEM CABLE can also be used to
distribute power between earlier Dataton
control units, such as PAX, to AIRLINK
RECEIVER. Power then travels along the
SYSTEM CABLE from the supplier unit’s
IN
connector to the receiver unit’s
OUT
connector
CUSTOMIZED CABLES
For fixed installations and other special
requirements, you may need cables with
tailor-made lengths. With the SYSTEM
CABLE KIT (article number 3420) you
can make your own cables measuring
up to 100m.
IMPORTANT
When SYSTEM CABLE is used to supply
power to another Dataton unit, the maxi-
mum length is 25m. In all other cases,
up to 100m of SYSTEM CABLE can be
used between units.
