This system setup is for anyone needing REAC transmission over 100 meters and
up to 2 km (1.2 miles) Connect an Ethercon cable from the S-1608 Digital Snake
to the S-OPT stage unit. Connect an OpticalCon or standard optical cable from
stage S-OPT to the FOH S-OPT. Simply connect an EtherCon cable from the
FOH S-OPT to the S-0816. If you require more than 2 km in distance you can
gain an additional 100 meters of Cat5e cable from the stage and FOH positions
giving you a total of 2.2 km in distance.
This system is a must for anyone requiring REAC transmissions over 100 meters
with redundancy. The S-4000S-3208 Digital Snake has built in redundant REAC
ports so simply connect two S-OPT’s at the stage and FOH positions. Two S-
OPT units can be connected using the proprietary POWER LINK cable (ARC-15,
sold separately) so that redundant power can be supplied from one unit to the
other. If power to a single unit is interrupted due to an unexpected situation or is
damaged, both units will still continue to operate.

POWER LINK
When running two S-OPT units in
redundant mode, connect together via
this power link to ensure backup power. If
one power supply fails, the power link will
share power with the second unit.

The S-OPT is an optical converter that converts RSS Digital Snake System REAC signals to and from optical
signals for long distance digital audio transmission. By using the REAC optical converter and optical cables
(sold separately), the REAC transmission distance can be extended to a maximum of 2 kilometers (1.2 miles.)
Features
• The S-OPT optical connectors are Neutrik OpticalCon® connectors and support Mobile Fiber Cable from Neutrik. This optical interface provides for
transmitting audio over long distances using optical cables while still taking advantage of the RSS Digital Snake System’s mobility.
• OpticalCon® provides a Dual LC optical connector (standard LC-Duplex connector, IEC 61754-20) enabling the use of less expensive optical cables
with the RSS Digital Snake System.
• Two S-OPT units can be connected using the proprietary POWER LINK cable (ARC-15, sold separately) so that redundant power can be supplied
from one unit to the other. If power to a single unit is interrupted due to un-expected situation or is damaged, both units will still continue to operate.
