ing the audio of the caller(s) on Hybrid 1.

This is a 3-pin male XLR connector with balanced line level output contain-
ing the audio of the caller(s) on Hybrid 2.

Use this RJ-45 jack to connect an external hybrid to STAC. Refer to page 42 
for additional information.

These four RJ-45 jacks provide connection of telephone lines 1-6 and 7-12 
to the mainframe. See the 

P

HONE

INE

 P

INOUTS

 

section on page 10 for wiring 

instructions. 

These four RJ-45 jacks provide optional 

Loop-Thru

 connections for tele-

phone lines 1-6 and 7-12, allowing access to designated telephone lines 
when STAC is not using them. STAC can also be configured via DIP switch-
es to disable line access when a 

Loop-Thru

 

device is active on that line. 

Refer to the 

DIP S

WITCH

 

section on page 12 for details.

Note: A STAC6 System only has phone line and loop-thru functions for lines 
1-6. 

Use these RJ-45 jacks to connect up to four control surfaces to the main-
frame with standard four-pair cable (Cat-4 or better).

This port provides status indications for 

Ringing

 and 

On Air

 lines. For details

Phone Line

 and 

Loop-Thru

 connections are made via RJ-45 cables, 

pinned such that each phone line is on one twisted pair of a four-pair cable 
(Cat-4 or better) as shown on page 10. Only three pairs are used on each 
jack. (Pair 4 is unconnected.) The use of the 

Loop-Thru

 connections is 

optional. If used, the 

Loop-Thru

 connections will provide access to each 

designated telephone line when STAC is not using it. Also, STAC can be set 
to disable line access when a 

Loop-Thru

 device is active on that line. (See 

page 13 for more information.)

Comrex sells a “STAC Breakout Box Kit” that provides RJ-11 access to each 
phone line and 

Loop-Thru

 port on STAC. One kit is required for access to  

six telephone lines. If 

Loop-Thru

 access is required, two kits are required 

for each group of six phone lines.
