    Nothing to complain about with this very well made etherCON-compatible audio cable which allows you to send four audio (or DMX) signals over a single CAT6 cable rather than have four long XLR cables snaking across your studio or stage. The cable is thick and robust and clicks-in securely to the GearIT 4-channel extender boxes Im using with the cable. The etherCon-style housings surrounding the RJ45 connectors on the ends are metal - assuring a solid connection with the extender boxes. The plastic RJ45 connectors themselves look rugged and fit securely into the etherCON housing that has a pre-molded metal shape on the inside that the RJ45 slides into to securely orient and hold the RJ45 in the proper position. A professional cable that sounds great.

    I wanted to start off by saying this cable does it jobs and works as intended. I wish there was more information to provide, but just for testing purposes, I wanted to make sure the cable was a CAT6, so I unscrewed the end housing to test the quality of the cable and it does in fact handle the correct speeds that are listed in the informational page. This is a quality product and thank you for a great product!!!

    This ethernet cable works great for keeping my internet speed quick on my computer. It was easy to connect, and the cord length was perfect for my office area. The cord is also on the thicker side to keep it from getting worn out over time.

    This cable is built very well! It is very thick and the jacket is strong. The connectors are tight and of a very good quality. I connected it to a snake attached to my drum kit and it does the job very well with zero loss in audio quality. Highly recommend!

    Ethercon is an interesting development, which allows musicians to have the benefits of cable snakes, without the extremely heavy duty cables and wiring harnesses attached to them. These cables are really solid and look like they will hold up well over time. I connected two Ethercon boxes using this cable and connected a microphone and vocal processor to a mixer. Listening ot the output showed no percievable loss in sound quality. The cable ends are quite heavy and look like they will hold up well under duress. I have no fears about usinmg these cables on stage.

    This is supremely well made. If feels very solid and very well made. Note that the ends of each cable have a non-removable metal cylinder around them. So this isnt a cable you can stick on the back of your modem or TV. This cable is meant specifically for Ethercon connections.

    I cant get into all of the technical details about Mbps speeds and all that high-tech stuff, but what I can tell you is that this cable is outstanding! Plug and play, built as rugged as they come, and I saw a noticeable improvement in how fast my connections speeds are over other CAT6 cables Ive been using. Streaming and conferencing went as smooth as silk compared to previous cables used so I cant ask for anything better than that! I would absolutely buy networking cables from this company again without hesitation.

    The GearIT CAT6 Ethernet Cable, EtherCON-Compatible RJ45 Connectors for Pro Audio, Aluminum Shielded, Oxygen Free Copper - 10 ft. - Black This a cable for carrying audio over ethernet for audio patch boxes etc. that are EtherCon compatible (audio over ethernet). With the correct equipment you can carry 4 channels of audio over Ethernet Cat6 cables. This cable is very well made and very robust. The cable core is a very heavy gage. and has serviceable metal ends. The connectors of EtherCon look like an XLR with an ethernet connection inside, instead of three pins. This gives a very robust connection for compatible floor boxes etc. Audio over Ethernet is a huge leap forward and a great way to run 4 channel audio over a distance. These cables are top notch, and work exactly as they should. This is absolutely an all pro cable. I find etherCon very exciting and have 2 sets of floor boxes I use regularly with this cable. perfect for studio or stage. Great for bands, studios, and DJays. I am very grateful to have these cables in my studio.

    This cable is being used with a digital snake on half of my drum microphones. Prior to getting this cable, I tried an unshielded cat5e cable (regular ethernet style) and when +48V phantom power was applied, I got a really bad hum out of my monitor. I swapped that CAT5e cable for this cable and now I have ZERO noise. This is a very well made cable and I highly recommend this product!

    In total, I’ve got 8 microphones covering my drum kit. Needless to say, that creates a lot of XLR cable spaghetti running all over the floor leading back to my Behringer A/D converters. I’ve only recently discovered Ethercon technology and just started using it in my home studio. Unlike regular XLR snakes with their large boxes and unruly diameter cables, EC extenders are very compact yet still pass audio signals transparently. This particular cable has very rugged jacketing with tight fitting connectors, whose stress reliefs are sufficient and have serrated surfaces for a better grip. As a test, I attached a pair of 4-port EC extender boxes using this cable to cover the four microphones on the hi-hat side of my drum kit, consisting of a combination of two condenser and two dynamic mics. I couldn’t detect any signal degradation whatsoever, no doubt in part to the use of CAT6 connectivity which depending on length supports data transfer speeds up to 10Gbps. They also send/receive phantom power without any sort of power supply required. Some of my collaborators have attempted to connect Ethercon extender boxes using a standard CAT6 Ethernet cable, which will without fail cause line noise issues due to insufficient shielding and/or long length. Worse yet, they will not carry phantom power. Always use cables specifically designed for Ethercon compatibility such as this one, and it’s smooth sailing. Note that they’re not just for audio. If you’re into DMX lighting, these will handle that as well. This product may seem a bit pricey, but then again so are long high-quality XLR cables. That in mind along with the convenience they provide, I’m certainly sticking with Ethercon microphone connections from here on out.
