I'm doing my first big show come April & I was curious about the best way to set everything up?
I have 2 Elite 3 pros FB4 and I didn't know If I needed to just get a longer ethernet cord 300ft ?? (If so what kind)?.
Or If there was some other type of set up that was a lot easier and efficient?
Thanks for your time!
 
You need cat5e or cat6. Put a switch stage side and connect both Elite lasers to the switch. Then bring the cable for the estop to the foh and you will be able to start/stop/estop a show.
 
Long network cables can cause FB4 communication problems. Assuming that you are operating at front of house, you might be ok with a 300 feet run as long as it’s a single piece with no joins. Definitely use a switch at each end. Best thing is run 80m, place a switch and then run more. If you can’t place a switch in the run, then you need to run fibre optic for network and copper for e-stop
