RDL – RU-NFD

The RU-NFD is a high quality Dante network to Format-A interface/distributor compatible with RDL Format-A twisted pair audio products. The RU-NFD converts three Dante network audio channels to RDL Format-A. The unit also converts a fourth Dante audio channel to a balanced line-level AUX output. Model RU-NFDP operates from PoE.

The RU-NFD is a high quality Dante network to Format-A interface/distributor compatible with RDL Format-A twisted pair audio products. The RU-NFD converts up to three Dante network audio channels to RDL Format-A. The unit also converts a fourth Dante audio channel to a balanced line-level AUX output.

RDL’s Format-A system utilizes the 4 pairs of a standard CATx cable; 3 pairs (pairs A, B and C) are designated for sending and receiving audio and the fourth pair is used to distribute 24 Vdc to connected Format-A products.

The RU-NFD provides signal presence metering and is equipped to power connected Format-A endpoints.

The RU-NFD is also available in a PoE version (RU-NFDP). If PoE power and an external 24 Vdc supply are both feeding an RU-NFDP, the unit will run from the external supply and will seamlessly switch over to PoE power upon loss of the external supply.
