Note: The controller and Octet Conductor are connected via two adapter cables. One cable extends from connector J3 to the "CABLE1-IN" connector on the Octet Conductor (via external connector J2). A second cable extends from J4 to "CABLE2-IN" on the Octet Conductor (via an Adapter Cable Extender that fits into a open slot next to the controller). The cable extender provides the path between the secondary internal connector J4 and the external cable. | |||
