SoundTools CAT Tails female etherCON breakout to 4 female XLR

SoundTools CAT Tails female etherCON breakout to 4 female XLR

Efficiently run multiple audio or COM formats down a single Cat cable with the SoundTools CAT tails XLR or DMX to CAT breakout snake. Available in 3-pin or 5-pin male and female configurations, CAT Tails can be plugged directly into consoles or stage boxes to allow transmission of up to four lines of audio or AES3 down a shielded Cat cable. Simplify your stage set up with SoundTools CAT Tails and run one slim Cat5e cable instead of 4 bulky XLR or DMX cables. CAT Tails are all-black, all-analog units with clear, laser-etched numbers 1-4 on each tail. With audio and COM over Cat5, we’ve run balanced analog as far as 600 feet in our workshop. When used with shielded cat cable, like our SuperCAT and SuperCAT Sound cables, CAT Tails are compatible with 48-volt phantom power and can run four channels of lossless audio and com with no interference and no distortion.
