Minimum Requirement - As a minimum requirement, you can consider using Shielded Cat
5e or Cat 6 cabling provided that the cables and connectors themselves are fully shielded
and are not needed at distances above 20m.
Note:
Many Cat 7 cables are marketed as Cat 7 but feature plastic connectors on
either end. In order for C.A.S.T. to work correctly, the cable as well as the
connectors themselves need to be shielded. Cables with incorrect shielding will
not perform as expected and 48v Phantom Power will not pass through
correctly. Any damage caused to the unit as a result of unsupported cabling is
not covered under the Cranborne Audio warranty.
C.A.S.T. Wiring
Below is the wiring table that is used in both TTRR Output and RRTT Input paths of C.A.S.T.
Using this diagram, you are able to create your own C.A.S.T devices if desired.

Note:
Any equipment designed by users or 3rd parties that supports C.A.S.T. that has not
had our direct involvement cannot be guaranteed to work to our exacting
specifications and could suffer a loss in signal quality. Any damage caused to the unit
as a result of unsupported cabling made by the user is not covered under the
Cranborne Audio warranty.
