6.6 IQ Bus Wiring with a Patch Panel.
The IQ Bus can be wired using a patch panel, making
addition and removal of IQ components in the field
easier and faster with less chance of loosing loop
integrity. As in a conventional loop arrangement, the IQ
Bus is wired in a serial loop, but all IQ components on
the loop are connected at a central patch panel (see
Figure 6.11). Typically RJ-45 style patch panels are
implemented, and allow the use of off-the-shelf pass-
* Separate shielded pairs may be required for long runs.
through network cable for connecting the IQ-USM 810
to the patch panel.* The combination IQ Bus Input/
Output Connector on the IQ-USM 810 has been de-
signed specifically for this use.
When wiring the IQ Bus with a patch panel, all unused
ports must be terminated with shorting plugs to close
the loop. For more information about wiring the IQ Bus
with a patch panel, contact the Crown Audio Technical
Support Group (see Section 7 for contact information).
