6 Wiring System Components
This chapter describes how to connect an Eclipse HX matrix frame (Eclipse HX-Omega,
Eclipse HX-Median, Eclipse HX-Delta or Eclipse HX-PiCo) to other system components,
including:
• The EHX PC.
• User panels (V-Series and I-Series).
• Interface frames and interface modules.
• External alarms.
• Four-wire audio devices.
• Analog partyline systems (including Clear-Com Encore).
It also includes guidance on using GPIs / GPOs to trigger actions, and procedures for
enabling E & M signaling.
Most user panels and interfaces connect to a matrix frame using CAT5 single 4-pair
shielded RJ-45 terminated cables.
Tip: For an overview of the entire installation process, see 3 Installation Overview.
For more information about component placement, specifications of individual products, and
internal adjustments, see the specific documentation for that product. To configure user
panels and interface modules, see your EHX documentation, including EHX Help.
6.1 Using RJ-45 connectors
The following section provides guidance on the use of RJ-45 connectors for connecting an
Eclipse HX matrix frame) to other Eclipse HX system components.
All Eclipse HX devices have built-in RJ-45 connectors. Direct 4-pair cable with RJ-45
connectors on either end can connect an Eclipse matrix port to an individual panel. Shielded
CAT5 cables are available with RJ-45 terminations already installed. Bulk RJ-45 connectors
can be bought and installed on custom length cables.
