It is a ruggedized multichannel fiber optic cable designed for multiple field production deployments in outside broadcast, rental houses, and more. It is a highly flexible, tight-buffered tactical cable with internal aramid strength members for crush resistance in high-traffic areas (if handled properly), and a polyurethane outer sheath designed to withstand crushing by both military tanks and outside broadcast vehicles.

Q: 1. We at our church are having trouble with our sound system. We have a Xenyx 1222FX Mixer and a Whirlwind Medusa 16x XLR send and 4x XLR return stage box. We have had some individuals mess with the set-up and do not have instructions to get it back functioning. What are the orange high-lighted inputs A, B, C, and D.
