SoundTools SuperCAT Tails Shielded Male RJ45 to 4 Female XLR
The SoundTools SuperCAT Sound cable allows the SuperCAT Tails to achieve a new level of simplicity at a lower cost while enhancing reliability and reducing weight. The SuperCAT Sound Tails implement a male cable mount etherCON on one end, terminating to four XLR 3-pin, DMX 5-pin, or quarter-inch connectors on the other end. The SuperCAT Tails can be directly plugged into SoundTools CAT Tails forming a disconnectable four channel male-to-female cable or to create four channel adaptors of differing genders and connector types.
The SuperCAT Tails combine key aspects of both the SoundTools CAT Tails and SuperCAT Sound cable to create a high-quality, durable and cost-effective product specifically aimed to excel in high-impact, touring environments. The SuperCAT Sound cable is designed with sound in mind; each of the four twisted pairs has its own separate drain wire and shield, and each pair is precisely twisted to eliminate crosstalk, reject outside noise, and allow for higher frequency response.
The 3-band strain relief system designed by SoundTools offers enhanced durability and prevents the shrink-wrap from flaring or slipping at the crucial junction of the four cables.
The SuperCAT Tails are compatible with all the products in the RATCAT family, including the SoundTools CAT Box, CAT Rack, CAT Tails, and WallCAT, allowing you to create a comprehensive and versatile modular snaking system. They can also be used with a shieled etherCON connector such as the Neutrik etherCON adapter (NE8FF).
One of our goals at SoundTools is to minimize waste, and whenever possible, we incorporate reusability into our packaging designs. Each of our SuperCAT Tails are packaged in a sturdy canvas bag, which allows you to not only stay organized while protecting your tools but also makes for a fantastic toiletry bag, sharpie case, or snack holder; the possibilities are endless.
Installation / Use Cases
- Use the 4-channel RJ45-to-XLR breakout cable to carry four balanced analog audio channels over a single compatible Cat5e cable, reducing the number of individual XLR cable runs needed on stage or in installed audio systems.
- Connect the four female XLR tails to compatible audio sources or equipment, then connect the male RJ45 end through a compatible shielded Cat cable or SoundTools RATCAT component.
- Use with SoundTools CAT Box, CAT Rack, CAT Tails, and WallCAT products when building modular analog-audio-over-Cat systems for live sound, touring, stage, or production applications.
- Use properly shielded Cat cabling when 48V phantom power is required or when minimizing interference is important.
