S-OPT
REAC Optical Converter
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.

Basic System Example
S-OPT
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
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. Simple
connect an EtherCon cable from the
FOH S-OPT to the M-400 V-Mixing
System console. 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 and requires redundancy.
The S-4000-3208 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.
