Hello everyone.

how long an adat cable can be to be hooked to an interface?
I am trying to set up a rack with 2 behringers ada8000,
so they have to be in Sync,
how far can I use them without problems?

thanks.
 
The spec generally limits the maximum TOSLINK cable to 5 metres with a "technical maximum" of 10 metres. However, this assumes the cheapest 1mm single strand plastic fibres and performance is improved by using multistrand and/or real glass fibre cables. I've heard of runs up to 30m plus, though I wouldn't try this myself.

If sync is the issue, don't forget that the ADA8000s can accept separate wordclock via coax rather than decoding it from the fibre.
