Aviom A-16R and A-16CS User Guide
To clean the label area on the A-16R Mixer or A-16CS, use a soft clean cloth to remove most types of temporary marking materials. For difficult-to-remove types of marking devices, a cotton swab moistened with a drop of rubbing alcohol can be used. Use the minimum amount possible to remove the writing.
What is Category 5?
Category 5 (sometimes referred to as Cat-5) describes a commonly used type of high performance network cabling. It is used mainly for data transmission purposes to connect computers, modems and other devices. A standard Category 5 patch cable consists of four twisted pairs of copper wire terminated by RJ45 male connectors. The cable assembly is used to provide connectivity between any two Category 5 female outlet jacks. A variation, called Category 5e (or Cat-5e), uses additional twists in the cable to reduce interference in high-speed network applications.
The RJ45 connector looks similar to the connectors found on a telephone system, only larger. The twisting of the wire pairs helps to shield the cable from unwanted interference from electrical fields or radio interference (sometimes referred to as “RF”). Cat-5 cabling supports frequencies up to 100 MHz and speeds up to 1000 Mbps.
Cables Used in the Aviom System
The Category 5 cables used with your Aviom system are interchangeable with any standard Category 5 (or Cat-5e) cables. If you need a longer cable for a particular application, any computer store should be able to supply you with an appropriate cable. A qualified technician should be able to build custom cables to any length (up to the maximum of 500 feet (about 150 meters) between components).
For fixed or permanent installations, you have the option of running Category 5 cables inside walls and terminating them with readily available wall panel connectors that include the RJ45 jack. (Solid wire is recommended for permanent installations.) Aviom recommends the use of unshielded Cat-5 cable.
Category 6 Cables
Cat-6 cable is the most recent variation in networking cable technology. Cat-6 uses a tighter wire pair twist to help reduce interference in network installations. The outer jacket of a Cat-6 cable is also different, allowing the cable to lay flatter. Cat-6 cables can be
