Output Mute connections — The Output Mute connector
provides a way to mute (blank) any or all TP outputs. Each
numbered pin of the captive screw connector is assigned to one
of the DA’s outputs (pin A is assigned to all DA outputs)
(figure 7). When you short and latch a numbered pin or pins to
ground, the DA mutes the associated output(s).

CAUTION
Power supply voltage polarity is critical. Incorrect
voltage polarity can damage the power supply and
the MTP DA. Identify the power cord negative lead
by the ridges on the side of the cord (figure 8).
CAUTION
The length of the exposed (stripped) copper wires is
important. The ideal length is 0.2" (5 mm).
Longer bare wires can short together. Shorter wires
are not as secure in the captive screw connectors
and could be pulled out.
Do not tin the power supply leads before installing the
captive screw connector. Tinned wires are not as secure
in the captive screw connectors and could be pulled out.
To verify the polarity before connection, plug in the power
supply with no load and check the output with a voltmeter.
The two power cord wires must be kept separate
while the power supply is plugged in. Remove
power before wiring.
TP cable termination
RJ-45 termination with CAT 5, CAT 5e, or CAT 6 cable
must comply with the TIA/EIA T 568A or
TIA/EIA T 568B wiring standards for all connections.
RJ-45 termination with Skew-Free A/V UTP cable must
comply with TIA/EIA T 568 A only.
Figure 9 details the termination of TP cables with RJ-45
connectors in accordance with the TIA/EIA T 568A or
TIA/EIA T 568B wiring standards. Use either standard with
CAT 5/5e/6 cable, but use the same standard on both ends of
the cable.
