In my studio in California I have kept my AxeFxII (and XL+) in a rack very remote from the studio along with other components. I have replaced the II with a AxeFXIII.
The MFC was previously connected to the AxeFXII with a long run of ethernet cable (Cat 5 or 6) prewired in the wall. I would like to use that same run of cable for the Axe FXIII when the FC6/12 becomes available.
I am aware and currently own the Faslink adapters, XA-1 and XA-2. But the Fastlink2 is a "new" protocol. Are adapters going to become available so I can utilize my current run of CAT5 (or 6)? Or alternatively is the schematic available for Fastlink2 wiring to install my own cable connectors to properly run through the existing CAT5? I realize that this need would generally be unnecessary for most but, as I said, I am already prewired from the rack that hold the AxeFX (Incidentally its at least 50 feet away in rack cabinet in another room)
For anybody curious, there is a Mac in the rack connected by USB to the AxeFX and running Axe Edit and other FAS software. I control that Mac running Axe Edit remotely by a Mac next to me in the studio by utilizing Mac OS proprietary "Screen Share". Screen Share is mindless and nimble. It works like a dream with virtually no latency. I have had virtually no problems in years except for an occasional freeze. And even at that I reboot using Screen Share.
Sorry to be so longwinded.
Thanks,
H
