CAT5 Wiring Tip
S-8 E-WHEATNET - E-Series Audio Routing Switch
S-8 E-WHEATNET is the high speed central network switch that
connects up to eight studios from the technical operations center. E-
WHEATNET is capable of simultaneously switching 64 bi-directional
audio channels to 8 ports —that’s 1024 traffic channels.
This unit occupies one 19” wide rack unit (height 1 3/4”), and is 13”
deep.
Front panel LED indicators display system status, sample rate, and
external clock functions. No external PC is required for continuous opera-
tion.
The eight rear mounted RJ-45 audio network ports easily integrate
multiple studio systems. Installation is simple: run one UTP CAT5 cross-
over cable to the S-8 E-WHEATNET from each of your studios or locally
mounted I/O centers.
Another wiring option is to run a UTP CAT5 straight connection from
the rack room to a small RJ-45 patch point block in each studio. The final
connection to each E-SAT rack or control surface can then be made using
an off the shelf crossover patch cable.
