This example shows how a theatre might be permanently
wired using a mix of daisy chain and star wiring.
Backbone cable segments in green are wired with a thicker
cable as these have a larger number of outlets attached to
them.
The Master Station unit could be located at XLR point #8
during rehearsals. The cable between the patch panel and
points #8 would have to carry 100% of the Outstation load,
hence the thicker cable.
Small venues, or those using 8 or less Outstations, could be
cabled entirely in 24 AWG.
Typical cables would be:-
24 AWG - Belden 9841
20 AWG - Belden 9463
