[XAP]Bob, Can you point me in the right direction to find a good switch?

Also, any analog multi core snakes out there with neutrik connectors?

I want to try both solutions, but the switch set up is still confusing to me.

Thanks for all the great feed back.

Hello [XAP]Bob,

Can you describe how to use an ethernet switch on the run, so that both cables are ‘live’.

Right not I have a live cat5 cable to the AB168 in the “dead” room and then another to the AR84 in the control room.

Would this ethernet switch allow me to wire the three boxes together and then choose which two I want to use?

Thank you Thank you!

If there are inputs physically connected to the QU16 and the console is ignoring them,
then I think there must be a way for the QU16 to hear them,
most likely by either changing the digital programming on the console,
or by designing and constructing a simple external cat5 dSnake/Expander box,
to trick the QU16 into thinking it is plugged into a set up it can hear.

Please feel free to comment on this thread, especially those with programming and electrical engineering expertise.

Thank you so much.

In theory, i can plug everything together with cat5 cable in this order.

QU16 to
dSnake port of AB168 in live room to
dSnake port of AB168 in dead room from
cat 5 expander port of AB168 in live room then to
AR84 via cat5 Expander port on AB168 in dead room

Hi Mark, can you please explain in more detail?
