Connecting REAC Devices

Cables for REAC Connections

With Digital Snake and V-Mixing Systems, digital transmission of audio signals is performed by means of REAC (Roland Ethernet Audio
Communication). Compared to analog transmission, this system is extremely resistant to external noise, but in very rare instances, noise can occur.
Selection of the wrong cable and incorrect cable handling can cause noise. Observe the following points when using cables.
• Ensure that the cables used for connections conform to the Cat5e (Enhanced Category 5) standard.
• Ensure that cable length does not exceed 100 meters per connection.
• When using a terminal plate or other such passive-type cable-extending connector, problems can occur even when length is less than 100 meters.
Keep the total cable length of the entire chain as short as possible.
• Do not use cables with cut or torn covering.
• Do not step on cables or subject them to undue stress.
• Do not wind cables too tightly or sharply bend them.
To maintain transmission quality, use of the following optional REAC cables is recommended.
100 m
SC-W100S (cable only) or W100S-R (with reel)
20 m
SC-W20F
