Whirlwind Catdusa 4-Channel Analog Stage Box

The Whirlwind Catdusa provides a convenient way to use Cat5 or Cat6 Ethernet cable for transmitting analog audio, AES/EBU digital audio or DMX lighting control. Plug a Catdusa box onto each end of a cable terminated with RJ45 connectors and use XLR audio wires to connect to equipment.

There are four circuits on the Catdusa box, using the four twisted pairs of the Cat cable. Each circuit has male and female XLR connectors allowing for easy bidirectional signal configurations. Two RJ45 jacks wired in parallel are provided for daisy-chaining applications. PIN 1 from all eight XLR connectors are tied together and terminate at the shield connection of the RJ45 jacks. Shielded Cat5 or Cat6 must be used for connection of PIN 1 from box to box and to pass phantom power to condenser microphones.

Catdusa is a 4 channel analog snake box that uses shielded Cat6 cable instead of traditional multipair cable.

Each channel has paralleled male and female xlrs, allowing for greater flexibility. The two Neutrik Ethercon RJ45s (IN/THRU), let you daisy chain multiple boxes. If shielded Cat6 cable is used, Catdusa can pass phantom power and DMX. The Mini stage box design means Catdusa can be placed almost anywhere.

Minimum 2 Catdusa boxes required.
