Germany - Sommer Cable has launched the SYSCAT4 family. It enables the simultaneous and reliable transmission of up to four analogue or eight digital AES/EBU or DMX signals over distances of up to 100 metres 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 50cm long four-fold splice made from the flexible and resistant SC-Semicolon 2 digital patch cable in combination with Neutrik or Hicon XLR connectors (three- or five-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 three-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 three-pin female + male parallel), as well as an additional connection option via the SYSBOXX 14-pin system. Customised special designs can be easily and quickly implemented by the company.
