SYSCAT4: Transmission of up to four analog, AES/EBU or DMX signals – ideal for stage use

Strong on stage and signal-proof …

is the SYSCAT4 family from Sommer cable. It enables the simultaneous and reliable transmission of up to four analog or eight digital AES/EBU or DMX signals over distances of up to 100 meters via stage-compatible CAT cables.

The core element of the SYSCAT4 family is a splice adapter consisting of the compact and robust HI-HOUSING metal enclosure with integrated EtherCON RJ45 full metal panel jack and a sturdy cable gland, split into a 50 cm long 4-fold splice made from the flexible and resistant SC-SEMICOLON 2 digital patch cable in combination with NEUTRIK or HICON XLR connectors (3- or 5-pin, male or female). The channel numbers are clearly marked – in SOMMER style – on the connectors:

Channel 1 = pin 4+5

Channel 2 = pin 3+6

Channel 3 = pin 1+2

Channel 4 = pin 7+8

The SYSCAT4 family also includes matching floor stage boxes (EtherCON NE8FDV <> 4 x XLR 3-pin female + male parallel) and 19” patch units in SYSPANEL housings with a high packing density and space-saving arrangement of 18 fittings on just 1 HU (2 x EtherCON NE8FDV <> 2 x 4 x XLR 3-pin female + male parallel) as well as an additional connection option via the SYSBOXX 14-pin system. Customized special designs can be easily and quickly implemented by the company.
