—Quick Install Kit Components
Cable
Connects the recorder telephony board to the punch
block. The rear-entry connector (right in photo) goes to
the recorder and is fastened to the telephony board rear
panel with small wire bails on each side. The end-entry
(left in photo) RJ-21 male connector goes to the punch
block and is held in place with a Velcro strip.
Note:
This cable may have special wiring! Before
substituting a standard 50-pair extender cable for this
cable, confirm that the telephony boards in your recorder
do not have special connections. (See
Channel Wiring for Eventide Analog Input Boards
). If you
need a greater length, you may use an extender cable in
series with the cable provided as part of the kit whether
or not it is one with special wiring.
Punch Block
The punch block is a convenient, industry-standard
appliance used to connect twisted pair telephone wiring
to the recorder. It provides a central location to connect
your physical wiring.
The 25-pair "Split 50" 66 Block has 50 rows and four
columns. Each row contains four connectors (contacts).
Each outside contact contains an electrical connection to
the one next to it, creating a pair of contacts, but the left
pair of contacts are electrically isolated from the right
pair of contacts (thus, they are “split”).
Using a punch-down tool (not provided), the telephone
wires are forced into a slit cut in the contacts in the
block, which makes a firm electrical and physical
connection. The blocks are usually mounted in the
orientation shown.
The right side of the block has a female RJ-21 connector
for the cable that goes to the recorder. The left side of the
punch block (opposite the RJ-21 connector) is used to
connect the telephone (or other audio) lines.
