Ace Backstage C-15133 RJ45 EtherCON CAT5e Feed-Thru Panel Connector

The Ace Backstage C-15133 is a CAT5e RJ45 feed-thru panel connector built around the Neutrik NE8FDPB insert, designed for AV integrators and touring engineers who need to pass standard Ethernet patch cables cleanly through rack panels, stage boxes, or wall plates without requiring proprietary etherCON-style locking connectors on both ends.

Unlike bulkhead connectors that demand specific cable terminations, this feed-thru accepts a standard RJ45 plug on each side, making it a practical solution for installations where existing infrastructure or client-supplied cables must remain unchanged. The universal D-size black metal housing with latch lock system integrates into standard D-sub panel cutouts found across audio snakes, AV racks, and control consoles, keeping signal paths organized and panel aesthetics consistent.

For installed AV, broadcast, and live production environments where network-over-audio protocols such as Dante, AVB, or AES67 are routed alongside traditional audio, the C-15133 provides a reliable, low-profile through-panel solution that maintains signal integrity without adding conversion or active components to the signal chain.
