GearIT CAT6 Ethernet Cable, EtherCON-Compatible RJ45 Connectors for Pro Audio, Aluminum Shielded, Oxygen Free Copper - 50 ft. - Black

You might be unfamiliar with Ethercon cables. Electronically, theyre no different than your standard CAT6 RJ45 ethernet cable. The difference is the connector. And while most standard RJ45 cables will work with an Ethercon jack, the reverse is NOT true. Ethercon cables cant be used with most network cards, etc., as they have a far more robust retainer to make pulling them out more difficult. These are a part of GearITs ecosystem of devices, useful for audio snakes, carrying DMX for lighting, or AES for digital audio. These are situations where you DO NOT want a network cable to pull out accidentally, as it can set off an apocalyptic range of audio madness. The Ethercon connector prevents that. When its snapped in, youre protected against all but the most abusive situations. Theres only one word to describe GearITs version of the Ethercon cable. HARDCORE. As in almost overkill, but the confidence level in these holding up is100%. They come in varying lengths. I ordered the six, ten, and fifteen-foot versions. All are equally well built. So much so, I was actually quite surprised. On top of that, theyre very well packaged, with their website, tech support phone/email and hours of operation printed right on the bags. The product photos are accurate--thats exactly how they were delivered. This is a case where Id award ten stars if I could. Operation of the cable is flawless. Just phenomenally well constructed and presented. Cant beat that.

Have not tried it, but I am confident you could tow a car with this cable, while transferring data and not missing a bit. This is a rugged cable. if you dont know what EtherCON is you should make sure that is what you want, it wont fit in a normal jack, but this is a quality cable I would highly recommend.

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.

The GearIT CAT6 cable supports EtherCON connections and is made very well and is altogether a quality cable. It handles DMX and analog audio, with the ability to handle stage lights and other compatible equipment. So far it is working great with a DJ setup and we couldnt be more pleased.

Great cable to go with my network snake. Multiple audio channels can be sent through this one cable with no loss of sound quality. The cable is rugged and ready for life on the road.

20ft of cat6 cable. Using it to hardwire a run to a security camera.

Impressed - very thick shielding and has a heavy duty feel to it. Works between modem and computer, no issues there. Cant speak much more that than - but it works for my needs.

Generic Ethernet cable, but well made and sturdy. Flexible insulation cover allows cables to be routed easily. Recommended

Overall: Recommended! Simplifies the stage setup and is very dependable over long distances Yep this is a great option for managing long stage setups from stage to mixer. I like the small form factor of the cable itself and also of the 4 channel connectors. Makes stage setup easy Cheers : )

This cable is thick and will be very durable. It took me a bit to figure out how to get the ends out of the shield, but twisting the metal protection and then pulling on it allows the connector to be used. I have a 1 GB speeed connection, and this cable got 911.76 Mbps download speed. My regular Cat 5 cable that I was using before this would never get past 850 Mbps. I was not really looking to increase my speeds. I just wanted something a little more heavy duty as my old Cat 5 cable I was always worried about it getting pinched or someone accidentally putting something on top of it. This cable can withstand a lot more than other cables due to its thickness. I find it to be a very good quality.
