The Kopul XLR4F-RJ45 4-Channel XLR-Male to RJ45 Passive Network Cable Extender is a durable and low-profile device that can be used for long cable runs in recording studios, concert halls, theaters, and houses of worship. It enables you to send four channels of balanced, Mic/Line analog audio and AES/EBU digital audio signals or DMX signals over long distances (up to hundreds of feet) over a single Cat 5, 5e, 6, or 7 EtherCON cable (available separately). The extender offers a cost-effective solution because it replaces bulky and expensive XLR snakes.
Whether you're connecting microphones to a back-of-house mixing console, digital audio to a computer, or running lights from a DMX controller, the XLR4F-RJ45 will preserve the quality of your audio/DMX, sending clean and interference-free signals to your sound boards, PA systems, multitrack recorders, and DMX-equipped lights. Simple to use, this passive network extender requires no external power to operate.
