The converter unit is available with D-Sub or RJ-45 ports. This provides for quick and economical wiring especially in static installations using standard S/STP lines. The port wiring complies with the EN 50173 standard. Thanks to the excellent CMR properties, even unshielded cables (UTP) can be used with no loss in quality. The space requirements in a NEXUS Base Device are reduced to just 4 HP (about 20 mm/0.8"). In theory, this would allow for a total of 304 analog inputs to be provided on a single 3U base device. With an increased number of channels and a lower maximum input level, the HXAD A/D converter for the NEXUS was designed specifically for radio applications and static installations featuring a large number of channels. Providing eight 2-channel analogue inputs, the HXAD offers twice as many inputs as its predecessor XAD+ and is capable of handling a maximum input level of 15dBu.
