Connecting the Universal Cable
The Universal Cable terminates on the server side with a male D
Sub connector, and on the output side with an 11-cable audio/video
breakout. The five video breakout cables are shielded 75-

coaxial
cables with female RCA connectors. The six audio breakout cables
are standard audio cables with female RCA connectors. Each
breakout cable is labeled.
To connect the Universal Cable:
1. Verify that the Universal Cable will not inadvertently come
into contact with other electrical devices or cables. Follow all
guidelines proscribed for electrical devices connected to—or in
close proximity to—the H-DVP server.
2. Completely back out the set screws on both sides of the
Universal Cable’s male D Sub connector.
3. Orient the Universal Cable’s male D Sub connector to the
appropriate female D Sub connector on the H-DVP server.
4. Connect the two D Sub connectors by applying gentle, even
pressure. Do not force the connectors together, and do not use
the set screws to “pull” the connectors together.
5. When the two D Sub connectors are fully connected, secure the
Universal Cable in place with the set screws.
6. Connect the breakout cables on the output end of the Universal
Cable to the appropriate output devices.
