SoundTools – CAT Box Stage Box

The SoundTools CAT Box Stage Box allows four lines of balanced analog audio to be run down a shielded CAT5, CAT5e, CAT6 or CAT7 cable.

• Low cost splitter system. Each CAT Box stage box has an Ethercon input and Ethercon parallel output allows the CAT Box to be used as a hard-wire split
• Run 4 stereo AES lines down a single shielded CAT5/5e/6 cable. Longer distance AES. CAT5e is superior for carrying AES signals over longer distances than conventional four channel audio snakes.
• Four com lines down a single shielded CAT5. Compatible with DMX, ClearCom and other 3 pin XLR based com systems.
• Combine multiple CAT Box stage boxes to create a low cost snake system. 48 volt phantom power compatible.
• Multiple CAT Box Stage Boxes can be daisy chained to allow the same four analog channels to be dropped in multiple locations.
• Constructed of durable anodized aluminum with stainless steel screws to prevent rust. Uses four Neutrik XLR Connectors and two Neutrik Ethercon connectors.
• Low profile in-line design can be laid on its side, so cables lay flat on the floor.
• Lower the cost of deploying long cable runs. Using shielded CAT5e reduces the cost of cable to less than 15% the cost of conventional 4 channel shielded audio snakes.
• Create four channel Male to Male, Female to Female or XLR “Y” XLR adapters by connecting various combinations of CAT Box male and female stage boxes.
