ARC
The RJ45 jack distributes power and RS-485 data to one
or more ARC devices. Uses standard straight-through UTP
CAT5/6 cabling.
1 ! Warning! Refer to the RJ45 Warning for compatibility
information.
The Symetrix ARC-PSe provides serial control and power
distribution over standard CAT5/6 cable for systems with more
than 4 ARCs, or, when any number of ARCs are located long
distances from a Integrator Series, Jupiter or SymNet DSP unit.
The following table provides at-a-glance cable length limitations
based on DC power (the table is not relevant if only RS-485 is
distributed) and assumes 24 gauge CAT5/6 cabling. The lengths
for multiple ARCs on a single chain assume equal distance for
each cable segment between ARCs. This table is intended for
quick reference only. For more detailed configuration scenarios,
Symetrix has made available a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet to
help system designers determine power requirements based upon
cable length, number of ARCs, and the power supply to be used.
Minimum distance is based upon the ARC-2e, maximum distance
is based upon the ARC-SW4e and/or ARC-K1e. This spreadsheet
can be downloaded from the Symetrix Technical Support pages at:

4QFDJBMOPUF For multiple ARCs on single chain, the listed value
is assumed to be the cable length between each device. For
example, a value of 600’ means 600’ between the DSP unit and
the first ARC, 600’ between the first and second ARCs, etc. The
total cable length will be the listed segment length multiplied by the
number of ARCs on the chain.

The RJ45 connectors labeled “ARC” are only for use with the ARC ser ies of remotes.
DO NOT plug the ARC connectors on Symetrix products into any RJ45 connector labeled “DANTE”, or “ETHERNET” .
The “ARC” RJ45 connectors on Symetrix products can carr y anywhere from 6 to 24 VDC which can damage Dante and Ether net circuitr y.
