In some large venues it is sometimes necessary

room from any fixtures. This buffer will prevent
any signal degradation that may occur after exces-
sively long cable runs.

) are
designed to handle total cable runs of 100ft. or
less. This total includes your Flash Tubes
™
and/or
any extension cables. This buffer is designed to
boost the output signal of your controller. The
buffer is designed to be placed at the end of your
first 100ft. run, not at the beginning. For Exam-
