4.2 Connection
4.2.1 Connecting to the CMU or the EMU
HCS-8685 interpreter unit is equipped with a cable with a
standard 8P-DIN male connector. When connecting the
CMU to the contribution units, just connect the male
connector of the first unit to the socket of the CMU.
Figure 4.3 HCS-8685 Interpreter unit connected to the
CMU or the EMU
For a longer distance between the interpreter unit and
the CMU/EMU, a CBL8PS extension cable can be used.
One end of this cable is equipped with a 8P-DIN male
connector, the opposite end is equipped with a female
connector. Just connect the female connector of the
cable to the interpreter unit, and connect the male
connector to the output of the main unit. The Cat5e cable
can also be used as an extension cable, one end of the
Cat5e cable is connected to output of the main unit via
the CBL8P2RJ45S converter cable; the other end of the
Cat5e cable is connected to the 8P-DIN male connector
of the interpreter unit via the CBL8S2RJ45S converter
cable.

CMU or the EMU
For “Closed Loop - Daisy Chain” ring connection,
HCS-8600MCLS Loop switcher is needed. The "TO MU"
port of HCS-8600MCLS is connected to the output of the
main unit via CBL8P2RJ45 converter cable; the other
port of HCS-8600MCLS is connected to the interpreter
unit via CBL8P2RJ45 converter cable; at last, connect
the last interpreter unit back to the CMU via a CBL8PS
extension cable.

4.2.2 Connection between Interpreter units
All HCS-8685 units are daisy-chained easily and
conveniently by dedicated 8-pin cables.
When connecting to another unit, just connect the
8P-DIN standard female connector on the cable of the
unit to the 8P-DIN standard male connector on the cable
of the next unit.
