CHAPTER 3: CONNECTING RMS NETWORKS

Ethernet and Twisted-Pair Hybrid System (Large Venue Applications)
For larger venues such as theatres, stadiums, arenas,
hotels, and theme parks, systems using multiple RMServers
are preferred for increased network speed.
In large systems, long cable runs can be required from an
RMServer to the loudspeaker locations. One or more FTR-
120 repeaters can be incorporated to extend the maximum
cable run length. This forms a hybrid network of twisted-pair
and Ethernet cabling.
