The Hosa PRO-CONEX Little Cat Breakout Snake RJ45 to 4 XLRM Bgives live sound engineers, AV installers and studio users a cleaner way to route four channels of balanced analog audio or AES3 over shielded CAT5e, CAT6 or CAT7 cable. This XLR male version is built for connecting directly to the inputs of a mixing console, audio interface or stage box, making it a practical endpoint for source signals carried over lightweight shielded network cable. The passive analog design requires no power, batteries or digital conversion, so the signal path stays simple and latency-free. A hard-wired 4-channel XLR breakout whip reduces setup time and eliminates extra patch cables, while the galvanized steel housing, integrated strain relief and Ethercon/EtherLok-compatible locking RJ45 connector help keep connections protected in live venues, installed AV systems, studios, worship spaces and mobile production rigs.
