Cables and Connection Panels

 




Med Associates Inc. provides a number of interface possibilities. Just a few of the more common applications are described in this section. Please contact Sales for more information

Passive Connection Panels

 

SG-215D3

SG-215D3
Passive Connection Panel

This small passive connection panel provides for eight 3-pin Molex® connectors. These can be used as inputs or outputs depending on the connection to the interface modules. Use this panel with a cable (SG-211F or SG-210A).

Dimensions:
4.25" L x 3.25" W x 1.125" H
(10.8 cm x 8.3 cm x 2.9 cm)

SG-716D

SG-716D
Passive Connection Panel,
4 Input/8 Output

This passive connection panel is used in rare occasions when the standard 4 input/8 output configuration of the SmartCtrl™ package is not suitable. Although this has the same appearance as the corresponding SmartCtrl™ connection panel, it can be wired with any combination of inputs or outputs. Contact Sales for information on the cables needed.

Dimensions:
4.0" W x 2.0" D x 7.0" H
(10.2 cm x 5.1 cm x 17.8 cm)

sg-716d2

SG-716D2
Passive Connection Panel,
8 Input/16 Output

This passive connection panel is used in rare occasions when the standard 8 input/16 output configuration of the SmartCtrl™ package is not suitable. Although this has the same appearance as the corresponding SmartCtrl™ connection panel, it can be wired with any combination of inputs or outputs. Contact Sales for information on the cables needed.

Dimensions:
4.0" W x 2.0" D x 7.0" H
(10.2 cm x 5.1 cm x 17.8 cm)

sg-215d4

SG-215D4
Passive Connection Panel,
16 Input/16 Output

This panel is generally used with one SuperPort™ 16 input module (DIG-712) and one SuperPort™ 16 output module (DIG-726) to provide sixteen inputs and sixteen outputs. It could just as easily be used to provide thirty-two inputs or thirty-two outputs to a single test station or distributed among several test stations as needed. Each connection panel requires two of the universal cables (SG-210B) and one power cable (SG-210CP-25 or SG-210CP-8)

Dimensions:
4.0" W x 2.0" D x 7.0" H
(10.2 cm x 5.1 cm x 17.8 cm)

Universal Cables

SG-210A

SG-210A
Universal Cable, 12 Conductor

This twelve-conductor extension cable is used to connect from the interface cable (SG-211F) to the passive connection panel (SG-215D3). This cable
consists of a male DB-25 connector on one end and female DB-25 connector on the other end.

Dimensions:
25.0' (7.6 m) long

SG-210CB

SG-210CB
Universal Cable, 25 Conductor

This twenty five-conductor cable is used as an extension cable between the interface cable (SG-213F) and the corresponding passive connection panel. This cable features a male DB-25 connector on one end and a female DB-25 connector on the other end.

Dimensions:
25.0' (7.6 m) long

Interface Cables

SG-211F

SG-211F
Interface Cable, 12 Conductor

This interface cable has a female DB-25 connector on one end and stripped and tinned wires on the other. One cable connects to one passive connection panel and is normally assigned to each test chamber in the system. The tinned ends are typically wired to standard interface modules with a custom selection of inputs and outputs.

Dimensions:
3.0' (91.4 cm) long

SG-213F

SG-213F
Interface Cable, 25 Conductor

This cable has a female DB-25 connector on one end and stripped and tinned wires on the other. One cable connects to one passive connection panel and is normally assigned to each test chamber in the system. The tinned ends are typically wired to Superport™ interface modules with a custom selection of inputs and outputs.

Dimensions:
3.0' (91.4 cm) long

Other Cables and Connectors

SG-210CP

SG-210CP-25
25' (7.6 m) 28 V DC Power Cable

SG-210CP-8
8' (2.4 m) 28 V DC Power Cable

These 16 gauge two-conductor power cables come either 25' (7.6 m) or 8' (2.4 m) long. Use a 25' cable (SG-210CP-25) to connect the first connection panel in a group to the 28 V DC supply. Use an 8' (2.4 m) cable (SG-210CP-8) to daisy chain up to three additional connection panels in a group.

SG-216A

SG-216A
18" (45.7 cm) 3-Pin Mini-Molex® Extension Cable

SG-216A-2
2' (61.0 cm) 3-Pin Mini-Molex® Extension Cable

SG-216A-6
6' (1.8 m) 3-Pin Mini-Molex® Extension Cable

SG-216A-10
10' (3.0 m) 3-Pin Mini-Molex® Extension Cable

SG-216A-20
20' (6.1 m) 3-Pin Mini-Molex® Extension Cable

These cables are used to extend the length of any accessory with a 3-pin mini-Molex® cable. Most accessories have a 30.0" (76.2 cm) long cable. In some instances, it may be necessary to have a longer cable to reach the connection panel. This is usually the case in systems that share one connection panel between multiple chambers. Accessories ordered with a SmartCtrl™ system will have extension cables added as needed free of charge.

SG-216C

SG-216C
3-Pin Mini-Molex® Y Cable with One Female Connector to Two Male Connectors

This cable connects two accessories to one input or output. It can be used for connecting two outputs together that are always turned on together, like a house light and fan or stimulus light and retractable lever. It can also be used for connecting a push button cable and a pellet dispenser or other reward for shaping.

Dimensions:
3.0" (7.62 cm) long

SG-216C1

SG-216C1
3-Pin Mini-Molex® Y Cable with Two Female Connectors to One Male Connector

This cable connects one accessory to two inputs or outputs. It can be used for connecting a lever or nose poke to two inputs for measuring the duration of the input. It can also be used for connecting two photobeam inputs together in systems looking at broad movements.

Dimensions:
3.0" (7.62 cm) long

SG-205

SG-205
Hand-Held Push Button Cable

This cable has a push button on one end and at the other end we will add the appropriate connector. At time of order, please specify how this cable will be used. It may be used as an input for human studies or connected to an output device with a Y-cable (SG-216C) for shaping.

Dimensions:
15.0' (4.6 m) long
