The following sections provide information and diagrams on connecting signal and power between panels.

One Neutrik® etherCON® signal cable and one Neutrik® powerCON® power cable are included with each MVP™ package—one cable of each kind per MVP™ in the package. These cables are to be used for panel linking only. You are able to purchase additional cables.

Refer to the Introduction or Operation sections in this User Manual for available cables and item numbers.

Signal cable panel connections can use several different configurations. The basic configuration to connect the signal from one panel to the next is as follows.

The source signal is connected to the first panel’s Signal Input or Output.

A signal cable is then connected to the first panel’s Signal Output and connected to the next panel’s Signal Input.

The connections continue until all panels are connected.

The direction of the cables used to make the signal connections can vary.

The following diagrams are recommended suggestions for signal connections between 24 or less panels, and more than 24 panels.

Refer to Connecting Signal Input for information and instructions on connecting the signal from the source.
