Thanks for that. It's given me somewhere to start from.

That website comes across as total bull:

"IDRANet works by transmitting short bursts of digital data onto the
data bus."

"IDRATEK’s overall implementation also includes an audio bus"

And

"Physically the network bus exhibits some similarities to the well known
CAN bus and exhibits similar physical characteristics of robustness and
data rate vs. bus length constraints"

I've read reams but still know so little about the products. I would
avoid any product where you can't work out the media of transmission.

The OP might as well have wires to his desk and another switch.

What's you interest in this website?
