Matrix Switching Basics
2-10
An obvious advantage of a partial matrix is that fewer
matrix cards are needed. Another reason to use a par-
tial matrix is to keep speci
Þ c devices from being con-
nected directly to other devices. For example, a source
connected to rows 5, 6, 7 or 8 (Figure 2-12) cannot be
connected to a column of Model 7012 #1 with one “ac-
cidental” crosspoint closure. Three speci
Þ c crosspoints
must be closed in order to route the source signal to a
column of card #1.
