C2G Replacement Multiport Controller Interface Adapter (MCIA)

The C2G 98156 is a replacement Multiport Controller Interface Adapter that works with the TruLink A/V Controller. By swapping it in when the original MCIA is lost or damaged, you can bring every device in your room back under centralized control without rewiring the entire rack.

This adapter provides a single point of connection for the cables that matter most. An RJ45 port links directly to the controller, while two DB9 ports handle serial commands for displays, projectors, or other gear that relies on RS-232 communication. A 3.5 mm jack accepts an infrared emitter or receiver, and a screw terminal supplies two-position power. A three-position 12 V trigger lets you raise screens, power amplifiers, or switch relays at the exact moment you need them. If your setup changes, a built-in toggle lets you choose between modem and null-modem pinouts without reaching for an extra adapter.

Integrators, facility managers, and IT staff who maintain classrooms, conference rooms, or digital signage suites can keep a few of these adapters on hand to minimize downtime. Installation involves connecting the existing cables to the labeled ports, tightening the screw terminal, and sliding the housing back into place. The small footprint fits neatly behind a rack face or under a lectern, so you will not sacrifice space for reliability.

Whether you are refreshing an aging installation or preparing a spare for a critical environment, the C2G 98156 ensures your TruLink controller keeps communicating with every device in the room.
