Description
Middle Atlantic Master/Slave Jumper, 12"
Designed for professional AV and rack installations, the Middle Atlantic Master/Slave Jumper, 12" (JMS) streamlines power management by letting advanced RLM Series modules control the M Series basic modules on the same circuit. This economical 12-inch jumper ships in packs of 6 and forms the essential bridge between power distribution and devices, ensuring reliable operation, coordinated power cycling, and seamless charging of connected gear. Whether you’re outfitting a broadcast studio, post-production suite, or a live-event rack, the JMS jumper helps keep equipment charged, powered, and ready for action while preserving a clean, organized rack layout.
- Compatibility and control: The JMS master/slave jumper provides a bridge between M Series basic modules and RLM Series modules so they share a circuit and synchronize their power states. This enables coordinated on/off behavior, reduces the risk of partial power-down, and supports clean startup/shutdown sequences across a rack. By establishing a master/slave relationship, the jumper supports advanced power management strategies, improves energy efficiency by avoiding unnecessary power draw from idle modules, and ensures critical gear remains accessible when you need it. It’s ideal for complex AV installations where multiple modules must respond to a single control signal, such as automated scene changes or scheduled maintenance windows.
- Flexible 12-inch jumper length and pack of 6: The 12-inch length is optimized to span standard rack spaces and connect midline or edge modules without forcing awkward routing. This minimizes cable clutter, preserves airflow, and fits neatly into most Middle Atlantic rack configurations. Sold in packs of six, it’s easy to outfit larger installations where several M Series and RLM Series modules must communicate, ensuring consistent compatibility across the circuit and simplifying stocking for integrators and service teams.
- Power reliability and uptime: The JMS jumper ensures a direct, reliable link to the power supply so connected devices benefit from stable startup sequences and predictable shutdowns. When the master module issues a command, slave modules respond in unison, reducing the risk of unexpected power fluctuations that can affect performance or shorten component life. This is especially valuable for devices that require regular charging or continuous operation, such as smart controllers, lighting systems, or networked AV gear, all while maintaining tidy cable management inside the rack.
- Easy rack integration and durable design: Engineered for rugged professional environments, the Master/Slave Jumper uses high-quality connectors and durable cabling suitable for frequent rack maintenance and transport. Its slim profile and standard 12-inch length fit neatly into most Middle Atlantic rack systems, reducing installation time and the chance of miswiring. The jumper’s design helps minimize signal interference and preserves the integrity of power distribution among related modules, contributing to higher uptime and safer, more reliable equipment operation.
- Value, packaging, and compatibility: Sold in packs of 6, the JMS jumpers deliver solid value for installers managing multiple modules or expanding racks. Built to Middle Atlantic’s trusted standards, these jumpers integrate seamlessly with M Series basic modules and RLM Series modules on the same circuit, providing a consistent, scalable solution across a range of configurations—from small studios to large, multi-module installations.

How to install Middle Atlantic Master/Slave Jumper
- Power down all equipment and unplug from power sources before installing the jumper.
- Identify the M Series basic module that will act as the master and the RLM Series module to be controlled on the same circuit.
- Connect the 12" JMS jumper between the master and slave modules according to the rack layout provided by Middle Atlantic for M Series and RLM Series configurations.
- Secure the jumper along the rack rail to prevent movement or tangling with other cables; keep connectors clean and free of dust.
- Power up the system and verify that the slave module follows the master's power state (on/off) as intended.
