The CAT Box 8 from SoundTools is a versatile 4-channel stage box with 4 male and 4 female XLR connectors along with main and parallel etherCON connectors, allowing you to send 4 channels of analog audio, AES3 digital audio, intercom lines, or DMX lighting signals over a single, lightweight Cat 5e, 6, or 7 cable. Using a shielded cable, the system supports balanced analog signals at distances up to 600' and digital AES/EBU signals up to 330'. CAT Box stage boxes can be daisy chained and used in multiple configurations to build the optimum modular snake system.
