Up to 6 composite asset strips
are supported.
Tip: To increase the maximum number of composite asset strips
attached to a Raritan PX2 PDU, EMX2-111 or BCM1, use Raritan's X cable
to enhance the power supply to the asset strip chain. See
Using an X
Cable
(on page 37).
Important: Different types of composite asset strips can be mixed in
a chain as of release 3.3.0.
Using an X Cable
Raritan's EMX2-111 products support a maximum of four composite
asset strips in a chain. For details, see
Daisy-Chain Limitations of
Composite Asset Strips (on page 36).
If you need to exceed the daisy-chain limitation, use Raritan's X cable to
connect composite asset strips. This allows you to expand the maximum
number of composite asset strips from four units per chain to six units
per chain.
An X cable is a combination of two male RJ-45 connectors, one
Raritan-defined male phone connector, and one female RJ-12 sensor
port.
The X cable supplies 12V voltage from the SENSOR port of the EMX2-111
to the connected composite asset strips.
Note: An X cable does not help enhance the power supply to asset strips
connected to Raritan's EMX2-888, so do not use this cable with these
models.
To connect composite asset strips via an X cable:
1. Plug the male RJ-45 connector at the shorter end of the X cable into
the FEATURE port on the EMX2-111 device.
