The SAET-4MF-3 delivers a complete 4-channel Ethercon solution for sound engineers and permanent installations who need to run multiple audio lines through a single Cat5/Cat6 connection. This 3-foot bundle includes both input and output breakouts, making it ideal for stage boxes, digital mixing consoles, and multi-room audio systems.

Convert one RJ45 Ethercon connection into four separate XLR channels, drastically reducing cable runs while maintaining professional signal integrity. The heavy-duty OFC conductors ensure clean signal transfer without data loss, while the balanced design minimizes noise and hum in demanding environments.

Each cable features durable metal housing with braided shielding and color-coded connections for quick identification during setup. The 3-foot length provides flexibility at connection points without excess cable management. These cables handle analog, digital, and DMX signals equally well, making them versatile for live sound, installed audio, and lighting applications.

Perfect for venues with permanent stage installations, recording studios with patch bay setups, and live sound companies running digital mixing systems. The compact breakout design works well in rack-mounted environments and stage boxes where space is limited.

The bundle includes one RJ45 Ethercon to 4 XLR female breakout and one RJ45 Ethercon to 4 XLR male breakout. Simply connect your existing Cat6 infrastructure to start routing professional audio signals immediately.

Seismic Audio backs this cable bundle with reliable construction designed for years of professional use, shipped fast to keep your installation projects on schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's included in the SAET-4MF-3 bundle?

You receive two 3-foot breakout cables: one RJ45 Ethercon female to 4 XLR female connectors, and one RJ45 Ethercon female to 4 XLR male connectors. This gives you both input and output capability for your Ethercon-based audio system. Each cable is color-coded for easy channel identification.

Can I use regular Cat6 ethernet cable with these breakouts?

Yes, these breakouts work with standard Cat5 or Cat6 ethernet cable, but you'll get the most reliable connection using proper Ethercon-terminated cables designed for audio applications. Regular ethernet cables may work but aren't built for the physical demands of live sound environments.

What venues or applications work best with 3-foot breakouts?

The 3-foot length is ideal for rack-mounted equipment, stage boxes, and permanent installations where you need flexibility at connection points without excess cable clutter. Perfect for recording studios, church sound systems, and venues with digital mixing consoles that stay in fixed positions.

Do these cables work with both analog and digital audio signals?

Yes, the heavy-duty OFC conductors and balanced design handle analog audio, digital audio (AES/EBU), and DMX lighting signals equally well. The braided shielding prevents interference regardless of signal type, making these versatile for multi-purpose installations.

How does the 4-channel breakout compare to running individual XLR cables?

One Cat6 cable can replace four separate XLR runs, dramatically reducing cable management and installation time. You maintain the same signal quality while using existing network infrastructure. This approach is especially valuable in permanent installations where running multiple cables through walls or conduit is challenging.
