When connecting loudspeakers equipped with Phoenix connectors to the MPS-488HPp power supply, you need a Phoenix 5-pin female to Phoenix 5-pin female cable. The following procedure documents how to assemble this cable.

Assembled Phoenix-to-Phoenix Cable

  1. If the cable has not yet been stripped, strip one end of the cable. Strip the outer shielding by 1 inch and then strip the black, red, blue, and white wires by 0.275 inch.

  2. Insert the five exposed conductors into the five cable holes in a Phoenix 5-pin female cable mount connector. Use the following wiring scheme.

  3. Secure the conductors by tightening the five screws in the Phoenix cable mount connector. Screws should be torqued to 5–6 Nm(4.4–5.3 In-Lbs).

    Caution

    Screws should not be inserted into the Phoenix connector while the connector rests in a mating plug. Doing so will damage the contacts. During assembly, the Phoenix connector should only be held in place externally.

  4. Repeat the previous steps and attach the other end of the cable to another Phoenix 5-pin female cable mount connector.

  5. Verify the wiring polarity is correct for both cable ends
