Hi Keith,

Hi Marcus,

 I'm looking for fully shielded plugs and jacks now.

Do they make a fully shielded splitter so I don't have to use a ML distribution box??

 Did you ever do a play by play on this coding for wiring?? Sorry if i missed it..ie. what color to what color../?

Thanks, Keith

Hi Keith,

if we suppose that the blank wires on the back are for the shield connection, yes they will work. I tend to recommend fully shielded ones, but haven't seen them on ebay, so go for these.

If you experience ML problems, then connect the pink and the blue/white cable at the unit where you experience problems. I had probs with my BV7 after connecting the BV1L - shortcut of pink and blue/white does the trick ;)

Good luck

Marcus

Hi Frank Rizzo

If you use the IHC/? cable we talked about some weeks ago the Pink and B/white is shortcut-ed

Hi Keith,

here is the color coding I used (please check if the factory made homelink cables have the same color/pin coding!!!!):

ML                Cat7         pin
w/or              w/or          1
or                 or             2
w/gn             w/gn         3
bl                 bl             4
pi                 w/bl          5
gn                gn            6
w/rd             w/bn         7
rd                bn            8

To be honest, my "junction boxes" are not shielded at all :o

I don't think it is necessary to look for fully shielded jacks, if you have a bad feeling with tha half shielded ones use some metal film to cover them.

Hi Marcus, Thanks....

I thought the Shielding was a ground that was necessary to run through the entire system withouth interruption???

Hi Keith,

Great Marcus...just 2 more questions...please...

 1) On the above description of Powerlink (MK II) to CAT 6.....which one connects to the "shielding" and drain wire???

2) Could you post a similar schematic for Masterlink??

Marcus, you've been a life-saver on this project....

Thanks a TON !!!  Keith

Hi Keith,

the color table I posted is for Masterlink, not Powerlink!

For Powerlink connection I used original PL cables, so I'm sorry that I can't be of much help with this topic.

Marcus 

Hi again Marcus and others involved in these projects.

 Marcus, I have been looking for a distribution box that is shielded. One that will take 1 input in and give 4 or 8 out to service the house. I can't find one....

Since our masterlink needs 8 wires PLUS the ground with "drain" wire....this must connect "THROUGH" the distribution box.....yes???? or am I crazy.....???

THanks.

help...thanks..

For the box I did use a non shielded plastic box, normaly used for house wiring. I connected the cables with small connectors type 243 from a company called wago. For the shielding of the cat7 cables I used connectors type 222. Very simple but working good ;-)

Thanks Marcus.>!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great M...could be so kind to do the code for the Powerlink MK II the way you did the Masterlink...My tech guy loves it...

Thanks 2 tons Marcus...K

Hi Marcus,

 Thanks for all the help....i've sent on this ML code to the guy making my cables...

Could you please give a POWERLINK code for PL to CAT 6 STP????

Much appreciated..

 K

Hi Keith,

Thanks Marcus..

 QUESTION>>>>  CAN, I use the CAT 6 STP for the POWERLINKS??????

 WILL this work???????????

THanks again..

K

TTT....for Marcus...

Frank Rizzo:

TTT....for Marcus...

THanks Marcus..I understand....

 Do you think it would work????

THanks, K

As Lexcom offers this system for some years now, it has to work somehow, but I don't know which wires they use to achieve a proper shielding.
