The Neutrik etherCON X Series cable connector carrier is designed for audio engineers, systems integrators, and production crews who need to protect fragile RJ45 Ethernet connections from the mechanical stress of touring, live events, and installed commercial AV environments. By accepting the most common pre-terminated RJ45 plugs, it converts a standard network cable into a robust, lockable connector assembly without requiring specialized termination tools or pre-configured cable assemblies.
At the core of this carrier is a zinc diecast shell with a unique chuck-type strain relief that resists pull-out forces and cable flex damage — two failure points that plague standard patch cables in stage boxes, network-dependent DSP systems, and Dante or AVB audio networks. The flat spot on the housing aids orientation during fast connections in low-light environments, a practical advantage on stage or in rack installations. Each unit ships with two cable protection elements supporting a range of cable diameters, and optional color-coded boots in nine standard colors are available for channel or zone identification.
Installers and engineers should note that this carrier does not include an RJ45 plug — a pre-terminated RJ45 cable assembly must be supplied by the end user. Additionally, this product does not intermate with the CAT6 chassis connectors NE8FDY-C6 or NE8FDY-C6-B, so panel compatibility should be verified against the appropriate etherCON chassis series before deployment.
