The use of CAT5 offers many advantages including availability, low cost, and the option utilize existing CAT5 infrastructure. Mounts with standard electrical junction boxes 1″ thickness with the rest of the unit measuring a 1.2″ depth. Two rear RJ45 connectors: one for input and one for thru. The double gang plate contains four XLR connectors (4 male or 4 female) and two rear mounted RJ45 connectors Send up to four balanced audio lines from one location to another using shielded CAT 5 CAT 6 or CAT 7 cableĬompatible with balanced analog, digital, AES/EBU, DMX and Clear-Com signals WallCAT, etc.) will travel 100 meters (330 feet) and all are compatible with balanced analog, digital, AES/EBU (110 ohm), DMX and Clear-Com signals.
Also note that ALL Rat Sound Category 5/6/7 extender products ( i.e. SoundTools CAT branded products REQUIRE shielded CAT5 CAT5e CAT6 or CAT7 cable. Combine with the CAT Box, CAT Rack, and/or CAT Tails for the ultimate audio-over-Cat5 experience. Two RJ45 etherCONs in the back of the plate transmit superior. The WallCAT 8 utilizes 8 connectors, allowing the choice of either input or output across 4 XLR channels. Using several SoundTools WallCATs the SuperCAT cable in your building installation will allow you to run four channels of clear audioĪnd COM signals from one room to another or to multiple rooms at once. (SoundTools) CAMARILLO, CA, June 8th, 2020 Introducing the new SoundTools WallCAT 8, an easy-to-install 2 gang wall plate with 4 female, and 4 male XLR connectors. They are compatible with 48-volt phantom power. SoundTools Wall CATs require shielded (STP/FTP) Cat cable to function properly. The high-quality brushed aluminum and stainless steel mounting screws (included) are resistant to rust and most wear-and-tear. The highlight of this XLR extender is its compatibility with balanced analog, digital, AES/EBU, DMX and Clear-Com signals.Įvery connection you need, including 4 Neutrik XLR connectors in front and 2 Amphenol RJ45 connections in back, come pre-installed and clearly labeled. Would heatshrink over the Cat twisted pairs be good enough for a sub snake that will likely remain patched into the main snake? It should only come out to plug a band's splitter in or re-arrange the input order, so likely not very often.Transports audio easily and conveniently from one room to the next by utilizing shielded CAT5, CAT5e, CAT6 or CAT7 cable. What is the best way to make a fan out from Cat5/6 cable?īut our budget is nearly non-existant, which is the reason I'm using Cat cable instead of actual multipair snake cable anyways, so $120 x 5 stage boxes is too much. So despite them sharing the ground connection, the other channels in the box will not get voltage when phantom is sent to just one. No! because +48 is sent over pins 2 and 3, pin 1 only provides the ground. Īre there any consequences to this approach? Looking at the PCB traces on this panel it appears so.
Avalable in Male or Female and Silver or Black. Is this how RAT does it in their (expensive) superCAT cables, boxes, and tails? A wallplate unit with 4 XLR channels capable of sending analog audio and data from one room to another using installed shielded CAT5 cable. Share the drain wire to all the XLR connectors' pin 1? I'll be plugging in condensers and active DI's so I will need this.
Audio can be sent from one room to multiple locations or from multiple locations to a single room. Each WallCAT 8 has an input RJ45 jack and parallel RJ45 jack so you can chain WallCAT 8s together. Well yeah, it will work, but what about phantom power? Without pin 1, no +48. The SoundTools WallCAT 8 is designed to transport audio easily and conveniently from one room to the next overshielded CAT5/6/7 cable. Leave all the grounds disconnected and call it good? How can I get 4 channels of balanced and shielded audio over 9 wires? I will be sure that the cable we order is shielded and has the extra drain wire. Because we are wiring the whole building for low voltage, I will have bulk Cat6 or Cat6a cable available and would like to run the stage boxes with those, probably hard-wired to the XLRs in the stage box, and made to fan out on the other end to the main snake. Each box has either 4 XLRs or 3 XLRs and 1 NL4.

I've got some pop-up stage boxes from Parts Express to install in a stage for a new venue.
