These accept standard Cat‑5e cables. These jacks will always connect to an
Pro16 A‑Net compatible product.
The connection labeled A-Net Bridge will always connect to another System
Bridge’s A‑Net Bridge connector.
Connecting the System Bridge
Adding a System Bridge to an audio network is quite simple. Two System
Bridges are needed to create a network. The four A‑Net connectors (labeled
A, B, C, and D) on one side of the network are directly related to the A, B, C,
and D connectors on the other side of the network. That is, if you patch an
AN‑16/i Input Module into port “A” on one side of a System Bridge, an AN‑
16/o Output Module would be connected to port “A” on the other side of the
System Bridge. See the following diagram.

This diagram shows the relationship of the A, B, C, and D ports on the AN-16SB.
A complete network using four units per side follows the same pattern.
An AN‑16/i Input Module connected to port B on one side of the network
connects to an AN‑16/o Output Module via port B on the other side of the
network. The same goes for ports C and D, as seen in the following diagram.

A-Net ports A, B, C, and D are shown connected in a 64 x 0 network configuration
To connect a 64 channel network (64 x 0):
On the Send side
Connect a Cat‑5e cable from the A‑Net Out of the first 1.
AN‑16/i to port A on the first System Bridge
Repeat this process to connect the A‑Net out from the
