The following example shows one variation of an expanded system.

One side of an expanded digital snake system
This example starts as a 64 x 0 configuration (
the input side of the system is
not shown in the diagram
). Two of the outputs are expanded. Port A has two
AN‑16/o Output Modules added. Port D has two Output Modules which then
feed an A‑16D A‑Net Distributor.
The A‑16D Distributor connects to five A‑16R rack mounted Personal Mixers
for use as a monitor system for five musicians performing live. Then, another
AN‑16/o Output Module is connected via a daisy chain to the last A‑16R.
Expansion of a system can continue as your needs require. Any available
A‑Net Out can be used to connect to the A‑Net In on any compatible device.
Each A‑Net cable used can be up to 500 feet long, making this system capable
of spanning long distances between rooms, floors, etc.
Using Multiple System Bridges
Expansion of a system can include multiple System Bridges. This allows audio
to be fed to different locations as needed. Using multiple System Bridges
follows the same connection rules as outlined previously. (Port A on one
System Bridge always connects to Port A on another System Bridge, etc.)
