Pro Co Sound ProCat 5 Cat 5 EtherCon Reviews

Tough, and Lays Flat

By Edward
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2019-05-30

I use this cable to connect a Midas 32 channel digital stage box with a mixer, in a variety of venues, for recording gigs that generally last one evening. That makes for a lot of setup and tear-down. ProCat-5 cable is expensive, and takes a week or so for delivery, but it's worth every bit. This cable has a rubber jacket that is very tough. Best of all, it lays dead flat, making it easy to keep out of the way or tape down in traffic areas. I keep 100' to 300' on reels, but small stuff (25', 50') is easier to carry in taped coils. I keep a few Neutrik Ethercon unions on hand to combine lengths. I have some hard jacket cable, which is supposed to have better transmission. However I have no data issues with Procat-5 cable at all.

Excellent Quality

I use the cable for an AVIOM A-Net system. I am very happy with the cable and termination quality. The cable coils easily and lays flat very similar to a high quality XLR cable. The ends fit a bit tight into neutrik etherncon jacks but all of my connectors are new so I expect they will wear in and and work nicely.

how flexible is this cable? does it feel like xlr when wrapping or is it stiffer?
Asked by: Charles
Ethercon cables are always less flexible than XLR, as you are dealing with eight wires instead of just three.
