InterPC Interconnect
The above drawing shows the external wiring of a C2C-Link across 3 adapters.
The external wiring of the C2C-Link is made with RJ 45 CAT 5 STP straight LAN cables. N-1 cables are required to interconnect N adapters in a daisy-chain scheme.
The daisy-chain begins on the OUT connector of the Master adapter and ends at the IN connector of the Last Slave adapter.
The IN connector of the Master adapter and the OUT connector of the Last Slave adapter are unused.
Note: The
adapter disables the signal drivers of the IN and OUT connectors to avoid electrical damages when it detects a bad or a missing
connection.
The InterPC cable drivers and receivers are not electrically isolated.
Important: To avoid damages, the interconnected PCs must have a common ground reference.
