I bought the male/female pair and some shielded CAT6 cable. My run is about 60 feet through conduit and it has been working fine so far. No noise, clean signal. I’m even sending phantom power over the setup to power a stereo condenser Rode NT4 mic. Build quality is great and totally passive. Just don’t forget that you need shielded cable with shielded RJ45 connector. This provides the needed 9th conductor. Review: Perfect - No need to do long runs of XLR, just a nice simple Cat5, even for really short runs makes it nice and clean instead of a bunch of XLR's. ## Features - 4 CHANNEL XLR OVER CAT5e: Send or receive 4 isolated analog channels over a single shielded CAT5e or CAT6 cable. Reduces stage clutter while replacing long runs of traditional xlr cables, maintaining clean, interference-free signal flow in live and studio environments. - FULLY PASSIVE DESIGN: No external power required. This unit transports signal reliably through one shielded xlr cable alternative, supports phantom power, and eliminates failure points during live shows or critical production setups. - ETHERCON DAISY-CHAIN CAPABLE: Features etherCON input with parallel output for scalable expansion. Ideal for complex stage layouts, permanent installs, and professional studio equipment integration where flexibility and modular routing are essential. - BUILT FOR TOURING & PRODUCTION: Machined anodized aluminum chassis with locking connectors ensures durability for demanding environments. A reliable solution for recording studio equipment, touring racks, and repeated setup and teardown situations. - VERSATILE FOR AUDIO & DMX SYSTEMS: Compatible with analog audio, DMX, Clear-Com, and AES systems. Compact and efficient for live rigs, AV installs, and mobile dj kit setups that require organized signal management without bulky snakes. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00Y3SKSWK | | Best Sellers Rank | #12,216 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #18 in Recording Snakes | | Brand | Sound Tools | | Brand Name | Sound Tools | | Cable Type | XLR | | Color | Red | | Compatible Devices | Devices with 3-pin XLR, DMX, or COM connectors | | Compatible Phone Models | audio | | Connector Gender | Female | | Connector Type | XLR | | Customer Package Type | Rigid Box | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 26 Reviews | | Ethernet Cable Category | Cat 5e | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor | | Item Shape | Round | | Item Weight | 14.08 ounces | | Manufacturer | Sound Tools | | Model | Female CAT Snake | | Model Name | CAT Box | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pins | 3 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Durable, Easy Setup | | Outer Material | Aluminum | | Part Number | cbfx | | Recommended Uses For Product | stage snake systems, professional audio setups, and event production | | Special Feature | Durable, Easy Setup | | Specification Met | IEEE | | UPC | 713289062156 793936929384 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Sound Tools - **Cable Type:** XLR - **Compatible Devices:** Devices with 3-pin XLR, DMX, or COM connectors - **Connector Type:** XLR - **Special Feature:** Durable, Easy Setup ## Images ![Sound Tools CAT Box FX – 4 Female with Passive Analog Audio - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71IOJReUIDL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What makes the CAT Box MFX ideal for live events and professional setups?** A: The CAT Box MFX offers 4 isolated XLR channels over shielded CAT5e, providing a clean, reliable audio connection with no clutter.
