4-Port GEMnet to Four MATEnet Connections
The PCM-ZC-0188 cable assembly uses a GEMnet Z-Code connector based on TE 1-2386629-4 at the main interface and four MATEnet Z-Code connectors based on TE 2302510-9 at the breakout side.
Instead of combining or duplicating one data channel, the harness routes four separate pin pairs from the multi-port GEMnet interface to four individual MATEnet branches.
Multi-Channel Breakout Harness Design
The four-port breakout structure is useful when a consolidated GEMnet connector must be distributed into four separate MATEnet interfaces while maintaining defined channel-to-branch wiring.
Each branch uses its own conductor pair and shield connection according to the assembly drawing, helping keep the channel arrangement clear during equipment integration and cable installation.
Key Features
One GEMnet Z-Code interface routes four independent channel pairs through a single multi-port connector.
Four individual MATEnet Z-Code branches provide separate connection points on the breakout side.
The cable assembly is specified with 100-ohm nominal impedance.
Uses LEONI Dacar 686-3 Ethernet cable throughout the four breakout branches.

Defined Branch Routing for Multi-Port Connections
The fan-out construction allows one consolidated multi-port connector to interface with four individually positioned MATEnet connections.
This arrangement can simplify harness routing where four individual device-side connectors must be connected back to one multi-port GEMnet interface.

Typical Connection Scenarios
PCM-ZC-0188 is intended for systems where one compatible 4-port GEMnet interface must connect to four separate MATEnet Z-Code interfaces.
Connect a compatible 4-port GEMnet equipment interface to four individual MATEnet cable-side connections.
Separate the four channel pairs into individual cable branches for more flexible equipment-side routing.
Useful where individual channel access is required between compatible GEMnet and MATEnet interfaces during integration or testing.
