The Utah-400
•
Use a high quality shielded cable for the Digital Audio. See the chart below.
Note: The cable shield should be grounded on the chassis end only; this pre-
vents ground loops from occurring.
•
Use shrink tubing around the end of the wires and cups on the 26-pin high-density male
connector when assembling. This process helps prevent any shorting between adjacent
wires.
•
Tie all grounds together inside the connector shell. Use an EMI Gasket for this application.
•
Provide proper strain relief for the cable ends; use tie-wraps to anchor the cables as they
are installed.
•
Avoid running Digital Audio cables across or adjacent to AC power sources where possible.
•
Do not bundle wires close to chassis backplane, this increases connector stresses.
