The Laird EC8-RJ45 CAT5e Tactical Ethernet Cable was developed for any application requiring heavy-duty CAT5e Ethernet cable deployment! It features Belden 7923a CAT5e DataTuff Twisted pair cable with a standard RJ45 connector at one end and a professional Neutrik EtherCON RJ45 connector on the other. The standard RJ45 connector end features a snagless round boot to protect the RJ45 locking tab.
EC8-RJ45 series Ethernet cables are Ideal for use with video and audio CAT5e extenders on set, in the field or anywhere a heavy-duty CAT5e to Neutrik EtherCON cable is needed. It's also a great Vox VC-12 Pedalboard replacement cable for connection to Valvetronix "Blue" Series amps. Because it's a tactical grade cable, it's a rugged option for stage and touring use.
Prevalent use of RJ45 connectors in the stage world has created the need for a road-worthy Ethernet cable. Neutrik's EtherCON has a rugged diecast shell and unique chuck type strain relief which protects Ethernet connections in a variety of broadcast & commercial applications, and is designed to prevent breakage of the fragile components of standard RJ45 connectors.
