2.2. Connection to digital devices and other feedback devices

Info: Standard s88-N
The S88-3 has RJ-45 connectors according to the s88-N standard, which regulates
the assignment of commercially available patch cables for use in s88 feedback systems. Unlike
the commonly used 6-core connection cables, patch cables, which are common in computer
networks, are largely shielded against foreign electrical signals. By using patch cables, the
susceptibility to interference in the s88 bus is therefore considerably reduced.
Connection to digital devices or upstream s88 feedback modules
The S88-3 feedback module has two outputs connected in parallel and can therefore be
connected either via

the 6-pole interface and a 6-core cable or

the RJ 45 interface according to S88-N and a patch cable
to a digital device (interface, memory or central unit) or an upstream s88 feedback module.
Connection to a downstream s88 feedback module
The input of the S88-3, via which the connection to a downstream s88 feedback module is
established, is designed as an RJ 45 interface corresponding to S88-N. A patch cable is used
for the connection to a downstream s88 feedback module with an s88-N interface at the
output.
If a connection is to be made to an s88 feedback module with a 6-pin s88 interface, an
additional S88-A adapter is required. Four different versions of the adapter are available,
which differ in terms of

connection (socket or plug) and

mounting direction
