Long Distance Fader Panel

I am about to be a VERY happy Ion owner. (order could be placed as soon as today) The one question I have is:

The Ion is going to be a replacement for a Strand 300 series console. Our space was retrofitted at the time of purchase pulling CAT5 to the back stage, which allowed for an SM panel to be back stage.

 My question is this, can I run a 2x10 fader panel backstage using a USB over CAT5 adapter?

  • Last time I tested a USB via Cat 5 extender, it did not work.

    I just ordered two new and different USB extenders. I will test them as soon as they arrive at ETC (probably Monday). I will post my results here.

     

    What is at the SM panel of the Cat5 cable in your current system?

    We have a RF remote for our computer that presenters use for Powerpoint presentations.  We relocated the USB antenna to the catwalk via USB to Cat 5 adaptors with excellent results.  The length of the Cat 5 is approximately 125'. 

    A theatre I freelance for has an Ion.  I was contemplating this very idea.
