Extend Connection 
 
Bus Extension. This connection is used to interface 
racks together when using the optional LYNX 
control system. This is a simple (and inexpensive) 
way to extend the reach of the host RCT 5020 
controller into several more racks fitted with RCT 
5010 bus expanders. It uses a proprietary LYNX 
control interface and this connection is physically 
daisy chained between all connected racks. 
Connection details can be seen in the table below. 
 
The connection is a 9 pin SubD female connector. 
Function and connection information is described 
below.

Note. When using this interface all connected racks 
must be mounted close together, (preferably with 
no space in-between racks), as the distance of this 
interface is restricted. Please refer to the R CT 5010 
Rack Bus Expander reference manual for more 
details on this interface and the cables required.
