=Rj45 port and CAT5 cable=
* To connect the Axe-Fx II and the MFC-101 floor controller a CAT5 cable can be used, instead of a MIDI cable. The CAT5 cable connects to the Rj45 port on the Axe-Fx II.
* A CAT5 connection:
** provides power to the MFC-101 without the need to connect an adapter to the Axe-Fx II
** transmits MIDI messages between the Axe-Fx II and MFC-101
** carries tuner and tempo information to the MFC-101
** switches off the MFC-101 when the Axe-Fx II is switched off
* A propietary communication protocol is used for bidirectional communication and phantom power. The internal PSU for the MFC-101 will also support an expansion module for the MFC-101.
