RJ-45 cables and connectors are used throughout the world for
both telecommunications and computers, and are widely available
at low cost. The connectors are crimped on to the ends of the
cable such that pin 1 at one end is connected to pin 1 at the other
end. Such a “straight-through” connection is (counter-intuitively)
made by introducing a 180° twist in the cable between the two
ends, as shown below.

The power amplifier Link connection is made using a 6-conductor
Link cable. Connect the Nº32’s amplifier port to the slave in
port of a compatible Mark Levinson power amplifier.
Warning! Connecting the communication ports other than as
described in this manual can damage the Nº32 and the
associated Mark Levinson components, and will void
those products’ warranties.
5 External IR Input
The Nº32 incorporates an infrared repeater input to facilitate a
wide range of installation options. If desired, the Nº32 may be
placed inside a cabinet or outside the normal line-of-sight in the
listening area, with the controlling IR signal being relayed to the
Nº32 by any of a number of commercially-available IR repeaters.
The specifications for this ir input call for a triggering voltage of
5␣ volts at no more than 100 milliamps of current, with the tip of
the
1
⁄8" mini-plug having positive polarity, as below:

If you would like more information on the possibility of using an
infrared repeater with your Nº32, please contact your Mark
Levinson dealer.
