2 to 1, 4 to 1, X, and Dual Switch Series

ABC, ABCDE, Dual Switches, and X Switches comprise a unique family of

data-communications switches that provide fast and efficient ways to switch

connections from compatible devices to other compatible devices. They

provide a quick way to connect devices without the need to unconnect and

reconnect numerous cables. These reliable switches have been used in

hundreds of different applications and come in a wide variety of interfaces.

All are available with either male or female connectors and are available in

either rack mounted or standalone versions. Some models are available in

EMI/RFI metal boxes for use in “noisy” environments such as around heavy

machinery.

No power is required to operate the switches and they are transparent to all

data, such as speed (up to 5 MHz) and code. All connections are made to the

rear panel and the switches are manually switched from the knob on the

rotary switch on the front panel.

2. Specifications

2 to 1, 4 to 1, X, and Dual Switch Series

Installation of an ABC Switch is quick and easy and will vary only slightly

depending on the type of interface being switched.

CAUTION

During installation of an ABC Switch, it is recommended that all

equipment be turned off with no power applied to any component in the

system.

1. Connect the cable from the device that is going to share the other

two devices to the common connector marked “C” on the rear panel.

2. Connect the cable from one of the shared devices to the connector

marked “A” on the rear panel and the cable from the other device

to the connector marked “B.”

3. Turn on the equipment and operationally check its performance by

having the common device send data to device “A” and then to device

“B” by manually turning the knob on the front panel.

CHAPTER 4: Installation and Operation of an ABCDE Switch

ABCDE Switches are useful for switching one device to any one of four other

compatible devices. To install an ABCDE Switch, follow these steps:

CAUTION

During installation of an ABCDE Switch, it is recommended that all

equipment be turned off with no power applied to any component in the

system.

1. Connect the cable from the device that is going to share the other

four devices to the common connector marked “C” on the rear panel.

2. Connect the cable from one of the shared devices to the connector

marked “A” on the rear panel and connect the cables from the other

devices to the connectors marked “B,” “D,” and “E.”

3. Turn on the equipment and operationally check its performance by

having the common device send data to device “A” and then to devices

“B,” “D,” and “E” by manually turning the knob on the front panel.

ABCDE Switch

2 to 1, 4 to 1, X, and Dual Switch Series

X-Switches are useful for switching two devices to two other compatible

devices in a crossover setup. Two sets of devices are connected at any one

time. To install an X-Switch, follow these steps:

CAUTION

During installation of an X-Switch, it is recommended that all equipment

be turned off with no power applied to any component in the system.

1. Connect the cable from the first device to the connector marked “A” on

the rear panel and connect the cable from one of the shared devices to

the connector marked “AA.”

2. Connect the cable from the second device to the connector marked “B”

on the rear panel and connect the cable from the other shared device to

the connector marked “BB” on the rear panel.

3. Turn on the equipment and operationally check its performance by

having the two devices connected to the “AA” and “BB” connectors.

Manually turn the knob on the front panel to the opposite position and

again check the operation of the devices while ensuring that crossover

operation takes place.

GENERAL NOTE

It is not recommended to connect an HP®LaserJet®Series II printer to a

manual switch. We recommend a powered automatic switch with that

application.

CHAPTER 6: Installation and Operation of a Dual Switch

Installation of a Dual Switch is quick and easy and will vary only slightly

depending on the type of interface being switched.

CAUTION

During installation of a Dual Switch, it is recommended that all

equipment be turned off with no power applied to any component in the

system.

1. Connect the cable from the two devices that are going to share the other

two devices on “A” and “B” to the common connector marked “C” on the

rear panel.

2. Connect the cable from the shared devices on “A” to the connectors

marked “A” on the rear panel.

3. Connect the cable from the shared devices on “B” to the connectors

marked “B” on the rear panel.

3. Turn on the equipment and operationally check its performance by

having the common device send data to device “A” and then to device “B”

by manually turning the knob on the front panel.
