RS-422 Interconnection
The Quick Connect cable is the most common method of terminating signal between two displays. The
four-foot cable goes from the RS-422 OUT on the first display to the RS-422 IN on the second display.
If the displays are not back-to-back, or are too far apart for the Quick connect interconnect cable to
reach, a 4-conductor shielded cable of the correct length is used. One end will connect at the “RS422
OUT” 6-position terminal block (A35-TB3) in the Signal Termination Panel of the first display, and
the other end of the cable will terminate on the “RS422 IN” 6-position terminal block (A35-TB2) on
the Signal Termination Panel of the second display.
