Connectors and Cables
SANE Ports
Use standard, fully wired, twisted pair cable (Cat 5, Cat 5e, Cat 6) terminated with RJ-45 connectors. SANE
utilizes all four pairs of the Cat 5 cable, two pairs for standard Ethernet transmission and two pairs for the SANE
synchronous audio transport. A SANE cable shall not exceed a total cable distance of 100 m
AES Ports
According to the RS422/RS485 hardware standard used for the transport of AES/EBU standards, each channel
requires a twisted pair. A common braided shield should enclose the pairs.
Standard computer data cables are sufficient for good quality AES data transmissions over the short distances
typically necessary in most applications.
RS232-Connection
Use a standard shielded RS232 cable.
Connector Hood Quality
Locking screws for D-Sub connectors should be compatible with 4-40 UNC. Care should be taken in selecting the
right type of connector hoods in order to fulfil the requirements of EMI-radiation directives. Full metal connector
hoods should be used, approved acc. to VDE 0871, FCC 20780 and EMC directive 2004/108/EG, providing
attenuation > 40 dB between 30 MHz up to 1 GHz. The shield of the cable should have contact to the connector
hood.
USB-Connection
Use a USB-A to USB-B cable between the PC and the Optocore device.
LAN-Connection
Use a standard twisted pair cable (Cat-5, Cat-6) with RJ-45 connectors.
Word Clock-Connection
Use 75
Ω
-coaxial-cable with BNC-connectors.
Mains-Connection
Standard power cords with IEC C13 connectors.
