Connections

CobraNet network connections

The CAB 4n features a number of different types of connectors. The first priority is the

CobraNet™ network port. This RJ-45 connector is designed to connect with standard, off-

the-shelf Category 5 (CAT 5) cable for use with standard Ethernet network switches.

Note: The network must be properly designed for each system. If networking is not a normal

part of your experience, we suggest that you partner with someone with networking

experience.

Configuration 1

A typical CobraNet system includes a CAT 5 cable from each CAB to a network switch. An

additional CAT 5 cable connects the switch to one or more MM-DSP-cn cards within the

MediaMatrix frame or NION CM-1 card.

Note: The example below is the most basic configuration. Large systems on managed

networks can get very complex. We recommend that you get this configuration working

before attempting a more complex one.
