The Advanced Communications Platform Artist is a highly modular concept driving modern intercom demands. It is designed as a powerful matrix platform for intercom and the distribution of analog audio, digital audio, and Ethernet data signals. The system consists of a fiber-based network backbone providing a decentralized infrastructure for live audio and intercom applications. Artist is a digital matrix intercom system providing up to 1,024 x 1,024 non-blocking ports per system. The system is based on a dual optical fiber ring to form a single large, full summing, nonblocking distributed matrix. The system still “feels” like a single unit: it is completely non-blocking and has no limitations in the number of cross-points within or between the different nodes of the system.

Normally two separate connectors are used for power and signal lines for servo drives. The new reduced size connection system from ITT Cannon combines power and signal lines into one zinc die-cast housing. This reduces the number of individual components as well as the cabling time and costs are cut. The innovative design simplifies the assembly and is a plus factor compared to the solution with circular connectors, with 50% less weight and size. For these reasons it is the ideal connection system for applications where there is not much space available. The CmX series fulfils all requirements according to DIN EN 61984. There are three sizes: Cm2, Cm3 and Cm5 with 16 up to max. 30 contacts.
