The Ethernet cable can be terminated as a straight-through cable
or a crossover cable. It must be terminated properly for your
application (figure 2-12).
•
Crossover cable —
Direct connection between the MKP
and a host computer or an Ethernet-enabled matrix
switcher (figure 2-10)
•
Patch (straight) cable —
Network connection between
the MKP and an Ethernet LAN (figure 2-11)
For pin assignments, see figure 2-12, below.

RS-232 cable termination
Each MKP control panel has two RS-232 ports that are
connected using 3.5 mm, 3-pole direct insertion connectors.
Wire the connectors as follows:
The total cable length between an MKP control panel
and a matrix switcher should not exceed 100 feet (30 m).
1
.
Choose a cable such as Extron’s Comm-Link cable. The
wire specifications for Comm-Link cable are in
appendix A. Colors may vary from this example.
2
.
Trim approximately 1.5" (3.8 cm) of the cable jacket to
expose the four insulated wires and a bare drain wire
(silver-colored).
3
.
Cut off the foil shield and discard it.
4
.
Strip ¼" ( 0.6 cm) of insulation from three of the four wires.
5
.
Twist the strands of each wire, insert them into the direct
insertion connector, and tighten the captive screws.
TP cable termination
It is vital that you use the correct Ethernet cables, and that they
be properly terminated with the correct pinout. Ethernet links
use Category (CAT) 5e or CAT 6, unshielded twisted pair (UTP)
or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables, terminated with RJ-45
connectors. Ethernet cables are limited to a length of 328'
(100 m).
CAUTION
Do not use standard telephone cables. Telephone
cables do not support Ethernet or Fast Ethernet.
Do not stretch or bend cables. This can cause
transmission errors.
The cable you use depends on your network speed. The MKP
supports both 10 Mbps (10Base-T — Ethernet) and 100 Mbps
(100Base-T — Fast Ethernet), half-duplex and full-duplex,
Ethernet connections.
•
10Base-T Ethernet requires CAT 3 UTP or STP cable as a
minimum
•
100Base-T Fast Ethernet requires CAT 5e UTP or STP
cable as a minimum
