Patch Cord Connections Example:
When a MapIT G2 Patch Cable is inserted into a monitored port,
the probe located in the boot of the MapIT G2 Patch Cable
touches the sensor pad on the SPP.
When the other end of the MapIT G2 Patch Cable is inserted into
another monitored port, a connection is created between the two sensors via a 9
th
wire
that connects the two probes inside the MapIT G2 Patch Cable.
The MapIT G2 Smart Panel detects the connection and port ID information is passed
between the two panels. This information is passed to the Master Control Panel
(MCP).
