Important Note Concerning R-BUS Cables The RBC-5 (5-meters R-BUS cable/discontinued) does not support the use of 64 kHz or higher sampling frequencies. When using sampling frequencies of 64 kHz or higher, please use the RBC-1(1-meter R-BUS cable) or the RBC-3(3-meters R-BUS cable). Operation may be unstable when using the RBC-5 with the DIF-AT or AE-7000. Use the RBC-1 or the RBC-3 when using these devices.
