This graphic illustrates DMX termination layout for the screw-
terminal connectors that are intended for use with Belden 9729
cable (or approved equal) cable type.
Screw terminal connectors are supplied as standard in the DMX
Preparation Kit w/ Screw Connector, part number 4100A1012.
Be aware that cable other than Belden 9729 may have a different
color code for its wire pairs.

The graphic below illustrates DMX termination layout for an insulation displacement connector (IDC).
This connector type is intended for use with belden 1583A (or approved equal, such as Category 5, 5E,
or 6) cable type.
The insulation displacement connector kit (IDC) may be requested from the factory but is not supplied
as standard. Request the IDC Pluggable Connector Termination kit, part number 4100A1013. Be
aware that cable other than Belden 1583A may have different color code for its wire pairs.
Terminate LinkConnect Control Wiring
Unison control stations and sensors communicate with the P-ACP over LinkConnect. See
. Termination is available for up to twelve home runs of LinkConnect utilizing
Belden 8471 cable (or its equivalent) plus one 14 AWG (2.5 mm
2
) ESD drain wire when the data cable
is not installed in grounded metal conduit.
LinkConnect wiring is topology-free and polarity independent. Wiring may be bus, star, loop, home
run or any combination of these. Total combined length of LinkConnect data runs cannot exceed
500 m (1,640 feet), with a maximum distance of 400 m (1,313 feet) between any two communicating
devices. Without a repeater, no device may be more than 400 m (1,313 feet) away from the P-ACP.
Standard interoperability requires that there should be a maximum of only one station repeater
between any two LinkConnect devices. This means that only one repeater module, whether a
Paradigm Repeater module (P-REP) or a Paradigm Dual Repeater Module (P-DREP), may be used per
P-ACP.
Note:
All low voltage control cables must run in separate conduit from power wires in
accordance with local codes.
