We handed over a few prototypes of the A-180-9 to customers who use the
A-100 very intensively (live on stage and in the studio) before we started
the production to find out if there may occur any crosstalk or voltage loss
problems. Even worst-case scenarios were tested (e.g. 15V gate signals and
audio signals over a 2m cable) and none of the testers reported any
problems.

And the connection includes a common GND provided that network cables with
shield are used (see my other answer in this regard).

Best wishes
