6 . Exposed cable shields (braids or foil) are potential sources
of short circuits. Trim back and/or insulate shields with
heat shrink.
C To prevent short circuits, the outer foil shield can be cut
back to the point where the cable exits the cable clamp.
Connect both braided and foil shields to an equipment
ground at the other end of the cable.

Communications connectors — Use these connectors to
connect SCPs together and to connect them to the switcher. Both
connectors function the same way, so they are interchangeable.
Plug one end of an Extron CTL Series Comm-Link cable into one
of these 3.5 mm, 5-pin captive screw connectors, and plug the
other end into the system switcher (or to the next SCP closer to
the switcher, if daisy chained).
If this SCP is at the end of a daisy chain of SCPs, do not use the
other connector. If this SCP is in the middle of a chain of SCPs,
plug one end of a Comm-Link cable into the second captive
screw connector, and plug the other end into the next SCP
further away from the switcher.
