Installing a Neutrik NAC3FCA power input connector on a power cable
Housing
To attach a power cable to a Neutrik NAC3FCA input connector:
1. Slide the bushing over the cable.
2. Slide the white chuck over cables with a diameter (D
(0.2 - 0.4 in.), or the black chuck over cables with a diameter of 10 -
15 mm (0.4 - 0.6 in.).
3. Prepare the end of the cable by stripping 20 mm (0.8 in.) of the
cable's outer jacket.
4. Strip 8 mm (1/3 in.) from the end of each of the wires.
5. Insert each of the wire ends into the appropriate terminal (see
instructions and Table 1 above) and fasten the clamping device
using a small flathead screw driver.
6. Push and insert the chuck into the housing (note that there is a
raised key on the chuck to ensure that it is oriented correctly).
7. Fasten the bushing using a wrench to a torque of 2.5 Nm (1.8 lb.-ft).

Relaying power to other devices

Warning! Do not connect more than ten MAC 101 fixtures in total to AC mains power in one
interconnected chain.
Fixtures can be linked in a chain, power outlet to power inlet, so that they all draw AC mains power via the
first fixture, but certain points must be respected:
• A three-conductor 14 AWG or 2.5 mm
first fixture to AC mains power and to connect the subsequent fixtures in the chain to the first fixture.
• A light-grey Neutrik PowerCon NAC3FCB connector must be used to draw AC mains power from the
fixture's power throughput socket and a blue Neutrik PowerCon NAC3FCA connector must be used to
supply power at the fixture's power input socket.
• No matter what the AC mains power voltage is, do not connect more than ten MAC 101 fixtures in total
(i.e. including the first fixture) to AC mains power in one interconnected daisy chain using power input and
throughput connectors.
