    • The use of shielded cables throughout the installation for EMC conformance. Unshielded cables can be used but in this case Clear-Com does not guarantee the crosstalk and noise figures. Long runs with flat cable are not recommended. The data and audio pairs are not twisted which means that the crosstalk within the cable is high.

    The following procedures are designed to help you install RJ-45 connectors correctly. Clear-Com recommends that the work is tested with a cable checker. When you are installing RJ-45 connectors, wires can slip out of the correct order as the prepared cable end is inserted into the connector.
  • Page 34 The detailed procedure is as follows. To facilitate the installation of RJ-45 connectors: 1. Strip off enough of the outside vinyl jacket to be able to grip the wires inside easily (2 in. or 50.8 mm). While holding the four twisted pairs in one hand, slide back the vinyl jacket and clamp it between your thumb and forefinger.

    6.7.1 Modes for General Purpose Inputs (GPIs) General-purpose inputs (GPIs) operate in either of two modes: • Opto-isolated mode, which requires the externally connected equipment to provide the current to power the general-purpose input. • Non-isolated mode, which means that the externally connected equipment is not required to power the general-purpose input.
  • Page 47 Non-isolated mode Note: The non-isolated mode is the default mode, when the matrix frame leaves the factory. Figure 14: Non-isolated connection to Eclipse GPI connector To cause an input to detect an active signal, current must flow from the relevant input pin. The external device should draw no current to cause an inactive input and at least 5 mA to cause an active input.
