Cable for expand D10 to connect with Helix stadium

[ezaz]

Because I am a JTV89F user in combination with helix stadium Floor, I'm very much waiting for the expand D10.

I have a question about the connection cable for D10 with Helix stadium. They say that a CAT6 cable will work.

The port on the Helix stadium (looks like VDI port) and the port on the D10 look different, there it seems to be a normal ethernet port.

Does anyone know, whether there is a special cable to connect the D10 with the helix stadium? Or will the D10 be delivered with a connectioncable?

A standard VDI cable should work. I say this based on the following info in the D-10 product description found within the Helix Stadium device product description:

Variax Digital Interface (VDI), L6 LINK, AES/EBU, and 8-channel optical connectivity….

Connect Variax modeling guitars via VDI…

 

I don’t know if the cable will be included with the D-10 package.

The only thing "special" about the port on the stadium is its ability to accept what's called an Ethercon connector (if what you say about using a Cat6 cable is correct). It's basically a latching protective cover that wraps around an ordinary ethernet cable. A regular ethernet cable will still work fine in an Ethercon port. If the D10 doesn't come with a cable, you can either use a regular one or buy a cable with an Ethercon connector on one end and a regular ethernet connector at the other (found one linked below).
