NXES104 EXPANSION BOARD, REMOTE CONTROL AND ASIO DRIVER

WARNING! Do not use FTP cabling for live application.

STP stands for Shielded Twisted Pair: Screen is made of copper braid. SFTP stands for

Overall Braid + Foil Shielded Twisted Pair: Foil screen and braid shield. For all these cables,

transmission characteristics are the same. The difference is the behavior with respect to

electromagnetic interference. We recommend cabling that has a superior quality sleeve in

order to protect the cable. Ideally this sleeve should halogen free in order to comply for the

installation standards.

Bellow are cables seriously tested by Auvitran (see

www.auvitran.com

for information).
