The
Variax Digital Interface Cable is a 25ft. cable used to connect the Variax to the
Vetta's Digital Interface. The cable allows the Variax to be powered
by the VDI as well as send a purely digital signal of the guitar's
models into the Vetta. |
|
|
The
Variax Digital Interface Cable ships with a Vetta II. In addition,
the cable is also included as part of the VDI - Vetta
Digital Interface upgrade package which Vetta I owners
can purchase
separately from Line 6. |

The Variax
Digital Interface Cable is essentially a standard CAT5 LAN cable
with additional Neutrik RJ45 XLR connectors. These XLR type end connectors
provide for a secure connection which is
"locked" in place so that the cable will not pull out if
it is yanked. The cable is released by simply pushing the tab on the
connection jack just like a microphone cable. |

Tech
Notes: The Neutrik RJ45 XLR ends of the cable are not connected to any wires
whatsoever. They do not serve as a common ground as technical appearances
might lead one to believe. The XLR connector's only purpose is to serve as a secure means
to lock the cable into place on both the Variax and to the Vetta's
Digital Interface. |
|
|
In
Addition: In case you lose or break your Variax cable, a standard CAT5 RJ45 LAN cable (such as that used by
the Vetta's Floorboard) may be substituted if necessary. Therefore,
it may be wise to carry an additional CAT5 cable with you when performing.

Warning:
Please be aware that there is such a thing as a CAT5
"crossover" cable which appears identical to a regular
RJ45 LAN cable. These type of cables are typically marked with a sticker (or printed on
the cable itself) with the word "crossover" to help
clearly identify them. Do not use one of these cables whatsoever
with your Variax or Vetta.
