Multicore Signal Connector
A-180-9 is another simple but useful tool. It is used to connect up to 12 signals between two different cases by means of one standard Sub-D cable only. That way it's possible to pre-patch e.g. two (monster) cases and connect all signals, that are required in both cases (e.g. clock, start/stop, master CV) by one cable only instead of 12 individual patches. The module is fully passive (no power supply required) and simply wires the 12 sockets to 12 pins of the Sub-D connector.
For this version two network cables are required because they have only 8 wires. As long as only 8 signals (labelled 1-8 on the front panel) or 6 signals (A-F) have to be routed one network cable is sufficient. In addition the number of connections has been increased from 12 to 14.
