Cat-5 Cables
The cables used with your Aviom system are interchangeable with any
standard Category 5e (Cat‑5e) cables. If you need a longer cable for a
particular application, any computer store should be able to supply you with
an appropriate cable. A qualified technician should be able to build custom
cables to any length (up to the maximum of 500 feet (150 meters) between
components).
For fixed or permanent installations, you have the option of running Cat‑5
cables inside walls and terminating them with readily available wall panel
connectors that include the RJ45 jack. (Solid wire is recommended for
permanent installations.)
In addition to standard Category 5e cables, Category 6 (Cat‑6 and Cat‑6e)
cables can also be used.
P No t e : When purchasing Category 5e cables, be sure to buy only standard
Cat‑5e UTP cables, not those sold as crossover cables. A crossover
cable is used for file transfer between two computers. A crossover
cable is not compatible with your Aviom equipment.
Cable Lengths
Cat‑5e cables used with your Aviom products can be up to 500 feet (150
meters) in length between devices. The maximum cable length specification
applies to the cable connected between the A‑Net input module and the
first Pro16 output device (such as an A‑16R Personal Mixer) in your system
as well as for cable runs between each additional Pro16 A‑Net compatible
device in your system.
