Network Cable for SQ and AR2412

SQ SQ General Discussions

Hello everybody,

I am looking for a network cable for my SQ5 and my AR2412 stagebox. Which network cable do I need?
Is CAT5e sufficient or do I need a CAT6 for safe operation? Which cables do you use? Which cable can you recommend?

Thanks!
Greetings from Germany!

Hi Subtower,

We do have an article on recommended cables to use with our products here: https://support.allen-heath.com/Knowledgebase/Article/View/367/172/recommended-cables

However, any STP CAT5e (or higher) cable is fine to use for this.

Thanks!

Alex

On installs we use solid CAT 6 Shielded cable we get from RAPCO cable company.

Is STP required, or will UTP work?

You definitely want STP.
