Forexample, connecting an AN-16/i-M Mic Input Module to an AN-16/o V.4 Output Module is a Pro16-to-Pro16connection.Pro16 A-Net Out Pro16 A-Net InPassiveCouplerPassiveCouplerPro16 A-Net Out Pro16 A-Net InTotal Pro16 A-Net cable length: 500 feet (150 meters)Pro16e A-Net Out Pro16 orPro16e A-Net InTotal Pro16e A-Net cable length: 400 feet (122 meters)PassiveCouplerPassiveCouplerPro16e A-Net Out Pro16 orPro16e A-Net InTotal Pro16e A-Net cable length: 400 feet (122 meters)When using Pro16e—such as the A-N et O ut from an AN-16/i v.2 to any other Pro16 or Pro16e device—Cat-5 cables may be up to 400 feet (approximately 122 meters) in length between compatible devices dueto the larger amount of data being transmitted to accommodate Pro16e’s higher channel count.Pro16 A-Net Out Pro16 A-Net InTotal Pro16 A-Net cable length: 500 feet (150 meters)PassiveCouplerPassiveCouplerPro16 A-Net Out Pro16 A-Net InTotal Pro16 A-Net cable length: 500 feet (150 meters)Pro16e A-Net Out Pro16 orPro16e A-Net InTotal Pro16e A-Net cable length: 400 feet (122 meters)PassiveCouplerPassiveCouplerPro16e A-Net Out Pro16 orPro16e A-Net InTotal Pro16e A-Net cable length: 400 feet (122 meters)The maximum cable length specification applies to the total cable length between an A-N et O ut port onone device and the A-N et IN port on the next A-Net capable device in your system.Your cable length performance will be affected by a number of factors including the quality of the cablesused, and the number of passive devices such as cable couplers or passive wall panel interconnections inuse.Stranded or solid Cat-5 cable may be used; stranded cable is easier to deploy on a stage while solidcore cable provides slightly better maximum distance performance. Solid core wire is typically used inpermanent installations in walls and across ceilings.When using the optional SB4 System Bridge with Pro16 and Pro16e devices, the cable length specificationapplies to the total cable length between the two active A-Net devices being connected with the passiveSystem Bridge, plus all cables. This is also true when using a passive inline coupler to extend cable lengths.Pro16 A-Net Out Pro16 A-Net InTotal Pro16 A-Net cable length: 500 feet (150 meters)PassiveCouplerPassiveCouplerPro16 A-Net Out Pro16 A-Net InTotal Pro16 A-Net cable length: 500 feet (150 meters)Pro16e A-Net Out Pro16 orPro16e A-Net InTotal Pro16e A-Net cable length: 400 feet (122 meters)PassiveCouplerPassiveCouplerPre-made cables in a variety of lengths and colors are available at most computer outlets. Cables may beextended by using a simple passive device called an inline coupler to add length to existing cables (as long
