ProCo Sound DuraPatch Cat5e Cable | 25 ft

ProCo Sound DuraPatch Cat5e cables are engineered specifically for touring sound engineers and AV integrators who need reliable network infrastructure on stage and in permanent installations. Where standard Cat5 cables fail under the stress of repeated patching, routing through cable trays, and exposure to live production environments, the DuraPatch is purpose-built to hold up run after run.

The EtherCON-style connector provides a ruggedized RJ-45 interface designed for audio and video stage technology, including networked audio systems and DMX control runs. The secure latching system on each receptacle prevents accidental disconnection during a show — a critical advantage over bare RJ-45 connectors in high-traffic stage environments. The cable jacket eliminates the stiffness and striation common in commodity Cat5 alternatives, making it easier to dress cleanly on stage or in rack installations.

Supporting 10/100 Base-T Ethernet, the DuraPatch is compatible with the full range of networked AV gear found in live production and installed systems, from digital consoles to Dante-enabled stagebox networks. For production teams and integrators who standardize on a reliable, stage-grade Cat5e solution, the DuraPatch delivers the build quality and connector integrity to justify permanent adoption in any touring or installed rig.
