AN-16SBR Front Panel
The front port on the AN‑16SBR, labeled A-N

ridge
is used to connect one
AN‑16SBR to another, carrying the combined A‑Net signals from the A, B, C,
and D ports on the device’s rear panel.
The A‑Net Bridge connector on the front panel of the System Bridge always
carries a four‑device data stream and is intended to be connected to the
matching connector on another AN‑16SBR and never directly to the A‑Net In
another A‑Net device.

BRIDGE A-NET
The Bridge output on the AN-16SBR contains four streams of Pro16 A-Net data.
P N
ote
: The AN‑16SBR is compatible with Pro16 A‑Net data only. Do not
connect A‑Net outputs from Pro64 modules to this device.
Cable Lengths
In most cases the AN‑16SBR System Bridges will be located near the Pro16 I/O
devices connected to them. Keep the interconnecting Cat‑5e cable runs as
short as possible. Cable runs between A‑Net devices and the System Bridge
are included in the maximum cable length specification. The Cat‑5e cable
runs between the A‑Net devices connected with System Bridges must not
exceed the maximum cable length of 500 feet (150 meters).
Using the System Bridge
When creating a digital snake or audio network with Pro16 products such as
the AN‑16/i, AN‑16/i‑M, and AN‑16/o, up to four of each module can be used
with one System Bridge pair. Pro16 products can be combined as needed to
create a flexible and easily reconfigured system suited to a wide variety of
audio applications.
The Pro16 A‑Net ports labeled A, B, C, and d on the AN‑16SBR are directly
related. Pro16 signals plugged into port A of the AN‑16SBR on one side of the
digital snake appear at port A on the AN‑16SBR on the other side.
