Overview
The AS 80 is a HMAC to dual HMAC converter for adapting a single source HMAC connection into dual-redundant HMAC lines. It allows existing HD Series optical or
copper connections to operate independently up to 192 bidirectional channels at 96 kHz. The unit operates from external clock on either the Snake Port A or either of
the dual ports X or Y.
The AS 80 shows redundant status available from connected console indicating cable state and auto-ranging universal switch-mode power supply with failover mode.
On-board intelligence reports cable state for easy diagnostics. Fibre Neutrik opticalCON DUO connectors are used for optical fibre snake connection.
