RS-232 Swap Cable

Swap Cable Construction

A swap cable is used for communication of RS-232 (BKC-DIP, Device Interface Protocol) data between units by swapping transmit and receive pins. A swap cable can be used between a CT Receiver and a home the- ater or a swap cable can be used between CT Receivers. A swap cable is intended for one-way communi- cation between the sender and recipient. RS-232 is not prone to outside interference such as plasma or flu- orescent light. A CAT5 T568B B&K swap is illustrated below.

Using the CT-1 for System Expansion

One CT-1 IR Routing System Integrator provides a system with connections for up to:

One B&K Home Theater Preamplifier or Receiver with Keypad(s)

And

Three CT Multi-Zone Receivers with Keypad(s)

And

Nine shared identical sources.

The CT-1 IR integrator is the keystone to any multi-CT Receiver install. A single CT-1 can integrate control for up to three CT Receivers, one B&K Home Theater preamplifier/receiver, nine shared sources and one CK1.2 Keypad. The CT-1 uses IR as the communication interface between units, it can also pass RS-232 for control of a Home Theater piece. Should future expansion be desired, a CT-1 easily allows additional CT Receivers to be added to the whole house system. Up to 11 CT-1 IR Integrators can be combined to accom- modate 21 CT Receivers or 126 zones. The CT-1 can be thought of as the common hub for IR control of the entire CT system. Each source is connected directly to the CT-1 along with any CT Receivers installed in the system. All zones will have the ability to control all nine sources when the CT-1 is used.
