Re: AC and signal cable of whatever typeI've been running the digital snake system from Roland for over 4 years now. I've had it run for long distances next to ac (never wrapped though), stepped on by crowds all day, and hooked to different circuits from completely different panels or even seperately derived sources (like generators). I've used shielded and utp for runs up to 300', and most of those had a wrapped coil of extra cable at the end. Never had a problem, other than a staging cart flattening it once. UPS's that kick in in less than 20 ms are important. Shielded cable helps make long runs (200'+) work more reliably. Shielded cable does not cause hum problems due to the all digital nature of the signal. You can run the mixer on a seperate power source with a digital snake with no hum /buzz (like you'd see on an analog snake).
