LBB4404/00 CobraNet 
Interface
7.1 Introduction
The LBB4404/00 CobraNet Interface is used to 
interface between a CobraNet and Praesideo. The 
CobraNet interface can convert up to 4 audio channels 
from Praesideo to CobraNet and 4 audio channels from 
CobraNet to Praesideo at the same time. See figure 7.1 
for a block diagram of the CobraNet interface.
CobraNet is a combination of software, hardware and 
network protocol which allows distribution of many 
channels of real-time, high quality digital audio over an 
Ethernet network. CobraNet is supported for switched 
Ethernet variants. CobraNet uses standard Ethernet 
packets and network infrastructure (controllers, 
switches, cabling, etc.) that operate in compliance with 
the IEEE 802.3u specification for Fast Ethernet. Fast 
Ethernet distance limitations apply to CobraNet 
installations: 100 meters over Cat-5 copper cable, 2 
kilometers over multimode fiber. Proprietary Fast 
Ethernet via single mode fiber solutions can reach even 
further.
CobraNet can sent up to 64 channels of 48 kHz, 20-bit 
audio over a single 100 Mbit link in each direction. 
These channels are grouped in bundles. 
See www.cobranet.info for information on CobraNet, 
including network design, network installation, network 
redundancy and troubleshooting.
