[QUOTE="Brian jojade, post: 63622, member: 211"] Re: Maximum length of cat6 for Midas Pro Series If AES50 is anything like ethernet, the issue is not the quality of the cable, or the connections, more it is an issue of timing of the network signal. The wait time to listen for packets is roughly equal to the time it takes the electron to travel 100M on the cable. If the cable is longer than that, the receiver will listen for a packet, and if it doesn't hear anything, go ahead and send one down the line. The result is packet collision, meaning both sides have to wait and resend. The result is that they both wait, hear nothing for the prescribed time, then resend, resulting in another collision. When this happens in an ethernet network, traffic slows WAY down. You can imagine how that would be a problem when trying to pass audio, which is pretty time sensitive. [/QUOTE]
