OPERATION 
Each Intellijel Octalink 1U package contains two identical Octalink 1U modules and one RJ45 cable.
With the Octalink 1U system, you can physically separate different eurorack cases while retaining
the ability to cross-patch between them.
Mount each Octalink 1U in a separate
Eurorack case, and connect them with a
single RJ45 shielded network cable.
Each Octalink 1U contains eight patch
points, which are routed through the
RJ45 cable, eliminating the performance
issues and inconvenience of running
multiple patch cables over extended
distances. Any signal patched into a
numbered Octalink 1U jack will appear at
the like-numbered jack in the connected
Octalink 1U.
Octalink 1U is also useful for musicians
who perform with multiple cases. Any
connections you would normally need to
make between cases (clocks, gates,
control voltages, etc.) can be
pre-patched into the Octalink 1U
modules. You would then simply connect
the two cases with a single RJ45
connector when setting up for the gig.
If you need to connect more than two
cases or access more than 8 patch
connections at a time, simply add more
Octalink 1U modules.
IMPORTANT : If you require a different
cable length, you can purchase a
standard, fully shielded,
internally-grounded RJ45 network cable.
Make sure to use only shielded Cat-6a
or Cat-7 RJ45 cables. In general, you
can spot a shielded cable by the
presence of a metal-wrapped connector.
