Important: Use the two 10 mm length self-threading screws closest to the front and the 8 mm length threaded
screw furthest from the front.
The built-in fan draws air in on the left side and exhausts air on the right, and so does not require extra space
above or below for cooling.

Connecting the DCS-LAN Equipment

Shure offers cables designed specifically for the DIS line of conferencing and discussion equipment. The Shure
EC 6001 are high-quality Ethernet cables available various lengths from 0.5 m to 100 m. Each cable has been
tested to ensure reliable system performance. See the accessories section for ordering information on the EC
6001-xx.
Important: Cables and connectors must be shielded for stable system performance. If an installation does not use
Shure EC 6001 cables, they must follow the Cat5e cable requirements.

Using Patch Panels

When designing a system with a patch panel, crimp the cable to the female shielded connector on the panel. Then
simply use short jumper cables to connect to the microphone units. Make sure the chain is always terminated by a
microphone unit or a termination plug included in the SPS CU spare parts package.
