4. If needed, connect a DPX2 sensor package to the end of the DX2 chain. See
Connecting a DPX2
Sensor Package to DX2, DX or DPX3
(on page 46).
DX Sensor Packages
Most DX sensor packages contain terminals for connecting detectors or actuators. For information on
connecting actuators or detectors to DX terminals, refer to the Environmental Sensors and Actuators Guide
(or Online Help) on Raritan website's
Support page

You can cascade up to 12 DX sensor packages.
When cascading DX, remember that the Legrand PDU only supports a maximum of 32 sensors and/or
actuators.
If there are more than 32 sensors and/or actuators connected, every sensor and/or actuator after the 32nd
one is NOT managed by the Legrand PDU.
For example, if you cascade 12 DX packages, and each package contains 3 functions (a function is a sensor
or actuator), the Legrand PDU does NOT manage the last 4 functions because the total 36 (12*3=36)
exceeds 32 by 4.
Tip: To manage the last several sensors/actuators after 32nd function, you can release some "managed"
sensors or actuators, and then manually bring the last several sensors/actuators into management. See

RJ-45 ports, each of which is located on
either end of a DX sensor package.
RJ-12 port, which is reserved for future use
and now blocked.
Removable rackmount brackets.
Connect DX to the Legrand PDU:
1. Connect a standard network patch cable (CAT5e or higher) to either RJ-45 port on a DX sensor
package.
2. If you want to cascade DX packages, get an additional standard network patch cable (CAT5e or higher)
and then:
a. Plug one end of the cable into the remaining RJ-45 port on the prior DX package.
b. Plug the other end into either RJ-45 port on an additional DX package.
Repeat the same steps to cascade more DX packages.
