Connecting a PSU to a Splitter
To connect a hybrid Splitter cable to carry data and low-voltage DC power
from a PSU to a Splitter:
1. Obtain a suitable length of Martin hybrid Splitter cable (see cable
lengths available from Martin under “Accessories” on page 79).
2. See Figure 14. Martin™ hybrid Splitter cables have ferrules (I-type end
caps) pre-installed on DMX control data wires and U-shaped end caps
pre-installed on 30 VDC wires. You can make a custom-length hybrid
Splitter cable by cutting the cable supplied by Martin™ to the required
length. If you do this, you must prepare custom cables for connection
inside the PSU. See Figure 14:
• strip 80 mm (3.1 ins.) of the outer cable jacket from the end of the
cable
• strip the last 10 mm (0.4 ins.) of the data ground/common, the data
+ve and data -ve wires and install ferrules (I-type end caps) on the
exposed conductors, then
• shorten the two 30 VDC wires, strip the last 10 mm (0.4 ins.) from
them and install U-shaped end caps that accept M3 screws onto the
exposed conductors so that each 30 VDC wire is 60 mm (2.4 ins.)
long including the end cap.
