Cabling System and Distro Racks 

ADAPTive systems come complete with purpose-
built data and power cabling as well as all 
necessary power distribution units (PDUs), Distro 
Racks, panels and switches. Each cluster is self-
contained and only requires mains power, audio 
signal and network connectivity to operate. (User 
must provide XLR cabling if the system is operated 
with analog audio inputs.)  

Each Distro Rack contains the following 
(maximum): 

(2) Motion Labs™ PDU (8 circuits for 6x
ADAPTive m 2x switches)

(2) Netgear® Prosafe® 16-Port Network Data Switches [GS716T-200]

Link USA™ Network Distribution Panel

Each fully-loaded Distro Rack is capable of supplying up to 12 ADAPTive modules with full power and 
with complete data redundancy. If the user elects not to employ data redundancy, each Distro Rack 
could supply 24 ADAPTive modules with network connectivity and audio signal, but additional PDUs 
would be required to deliver AC power.) 

Audio/Data Connections 

Dante™ Digital Audio & Control Network 

EAW recommends that users deliver digital audio and control signals via Ethernet and the Dante™ 
protocol using the fully redundant network. 

Connect a CAT5e (or higher) cable from a Dante™-capable platform to the Distro Rack input 
etherCON™ network connector to pass Dante™ Digital Audio signal. Two sets of etherCON™ 
connectors provide complete redundancy, and switchover from one data port to the other is 
automatic.
