Power/Data cable
The 4-pin Power/Data Cable connects the PS Power Supply outputs to the Coloram IT
Color Changers and provides them with power and control signal.
The Power/Data cable uses 4-pin XLR connectors on either end and consists of two 14
AWG conductors and a 22 AWG twisted, shielded pair. The shells of the two XLR
connectors are not electrically connected -- this prevents high power currents from
flowing from chassis to chassis of the Coloram IT equipment. The twisted pair shield is
connected only at the male XLR connector end. This is the standard Wybron Power/Data
Cable.
