Neutrik NE8FF Reviews

Simple but does the job

Used these in a few different installs - makes it super easy to have a reliable coupling of ethercon, rj45, or a mix of the two (I got one for my personal rig to connect an ethercon spool to a computer for KVM use in a portable environment when I want ethercon durability). Only difference I’ve seen compared to the next model up is that it doesn’t pass PoE. I’ve used them for HDMI over cat extenders and have had zero issues with them as well (we have a junction in a closet where it either can send via a brush plate to the stage wall, or via conduit to a floor pocket, depending on the application)

Exactly what I needed

question

How well would this coupler handle being dragged around on a stage? Would the locking tabs or corners get caught on carpet or other cables?
Asked by: Jonathan
The connector itself is very durable, however you dont wsnt to be dragging it around the stage for several reasons. First it is a beefy connector which can get caught on an object such as a guitar amp (it would easily glide on a clear stage) or even get caught in between other cables (like any connector could) which can potentially cause stress or damage to your cable - especially if you use a standard Cat 5 and not an ethercon. Second it can be a tripping hazard if it was dragged into a traffic area. If you need to drag it everywhere then you probably need a longer cable. If you use good cable you should get 330 of distance on a typical run. Depending on your application you may need a repeater or network switch if going further.
