In cooperation with KLARK TEKNIK, Behringer has designed a practically indestructible etherFLEX cable with etherCON connectors that lends itself to medium and long cable runs of AES50, Dante, EtherSound, CobraNet, AVB audio networking or general purpose Ethernet remote control. The NCAT5E-50M by Behringer is designed for dependable performance whenever CAT5-based connections are required for mobile pro audio applications.

Flexibility
The EtherFLEX ruggedized cable structure includes 4 pairs of stranded wire AWG 26, so it is able to withstand repeated flexing and stress far better than solid wires. Conductive foil and additional braided shielding surround the wires for consistently high rejection ratios against EMI, RF and ESD. Its inner FRNC jacket is separated from the rugged outer FLEX PUR jacket by a thin layer of talc powder for improved cable handling properties.

The NCAT5E-50M is not only flexible in terms of its superior mechanical properties”it also can be deployed in a wide variety of audio environments. If a single 50 m run is insufficient, you can extend two cables to 100 m using the optional Neutrik NE8FF connector. Simply unwind the cable from the drum. If you need AES50 connections exceeding the typical 100 metre limit of CAT5 Ethernet, KLARK TEKNIKs DN9610 Extenders or DN9620 Repeaters provide a very cost effective solution.

Drum Spooled
Schill cable drums are made from a nearly unbreakable synthetic rubber material that is as strong and resilient as steel, but more durable and much lighter in weight. The material can withstand temperatures from -20C to +70C and is resistant to chemicals, oils and gasoline. The integrated adjustable break stops any inadvertent drum rotation. A two-meter cable length is wound on the auxiliary spool for connecting the drum to the mixing console. Rubber caps on both etherCON connectors cover terminals during setup and transport and hook-and-loop fasteners secure cable ends during transportation.
