P No t e : While the Cat‑5e cables and connectors used on your Aviom

products look like typical computer Ethernet network connections,

do not connect computers, routers, or other home and business

networking equipment to your Aviom products.

Compatibility with Pro64

Many Pro16 products can be connected to a Pro64® A‑Net system with the

addition of the ASI A‑Net Systems Interface. The ASI translates Pro64 A‑Net

data into Pro16 data and separates the 64‑channel Pro64 stream into up to

four 16‑channel Pro16 outputs, depending on the Pro64 sample rate being

used.

Only Pro16 devices that have an A‑Net In port such as Personal Mixers, A‑Net

Distributors, and output modules are compatible with Pro64 and the ASI.

Pro16 input modules and console cards cannot send their data into a Pro64

network.

About Category 5

Category 5 (sometimes referred to as Cat-5) describes a commonly used type

of high performance network cabling. It is used mainly for data transmission

purposes to connect computers, modems and other devices. A standard

Category 5 patch cable consists of four twisted pairs of copper wire terminated

by RJ45 male connectors. The cable assembly is used to provide connectivity

between any two Category 5 female outlet jacks. A variation, called Category

5e (or Cat‑5e), uses additional twists in the cable to reduce interference in

high‑speed network applications. In general, when using long cable lengths,

select Cat‑5e cables for best performance. Use Cat-5e Unshielded Twisted

Pair (UTP) cables or better for all A-Net applications.

The RJ45 connector looks similar to the connectors found on a telephone

system, only larger. The twisting of the wire pairs helps to shield the cable

from unwanted interference from electrical fields or radio interference

(sometimes referred to as “RF”). Cat‑5 cabling supports frequencies up to 100

MHz and speeds up to 1000 Mbps.
