System Bridge
The AN-16SBR System Bridge is used to simplify the Cat-5 wiring when configuring Pro16 digital snakes.
This passive device takes four Pro16 or Pro16e A-Net streams and enables all four streams to be transported
over a single Cat-5 cable. In a typical digital snake this will be the longest cable, so the AN-16SBR offers
substantial savings in the amount of cable used as well as the time and labor to connect it.
