More On The Communication Cables - Korg GEC3 User Manual

•
If the teacher workstation includes a stereo cassette recorder, auxiliary audio source (like
a CD player/burner), or additional MIDI sound sources, connect the equipment at this
time. Be sure to route all signals in stereo, or split the signal using an appropriate cable
or adapter.
•
If the GEC3 is to be connected to an external amplification system, connect the Room
Outs to the amplifier, receiver, or powered monitors at this time.
Of particular concern are the AC, audio and communications (modular) cabling runs
themselves. In the interest of neatness and in order to avoid potential accidents, you should
use many cable ties. In order to minimize potential interference, always try to keep AC,
audio, and communications cables as far apart as possible, always attempting to avoid parallel
runs.
In addition, avoid exposed and/or loose cabling, avoiding cable runs across walkways and
aisles.

More on the Communication Cables

In configuring a GEC3 learning System, the only non-standard cables integral to installation
are the Communications Cables. These are Ethernet, eight conductor cables (category 3 or
5).
GEC3 Communication Cables can be purchased in two ways:
Korg supplies three lengths of Communications Cables, CC-14/25/33, in fourteen, twenty-
five, and thirty-three foot lengths.
When permanently installing a large GEC3 Learning System, the purchase of a s pool of
category 3 or 5 cable, connectors, crimping tool, and cable tester may be preferable. Material
specifications are listed below and the cable, connectors, and crimper can be purchased from
any computer network or cable wholesaler:
1. Cable: eight-conductor category 3 or category 5
2. Connectors: RJ-45 type
3. Crimping: RJ -45 type
Note:
If you are not experienced in network installation, Korg U.S.A. recommends that you
purchase the Communications Cables noted above or that you contact a local professional
who has experience in network installation.
