The DB Technologies CAT6-CAT6-500 is a premium 16.4-foot (500 cm) CAT6 EtherCON to CAT6 EtherCON link cable, designed for seamless and high-speed data transmission in professional audio applications, specifically for use with Dante Audio over IP (AoIP) networks and RDNet systems. This robust and durable link cable ensures reliable communication between audio devices, making it a crucial component for sound engineers and professionals in live sound, studio environments, or fixed installations.
Built with performance in mind, the CAT6-CAT6-500 link cable is designed to handle high-bandwidth data transfer with minimal interference, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted audio communication. Its 16.4-foot length provides ample reach for connecting devices over moderate distances, whether in a rack-mounted setup, across a stage, or between workstations in a studio. The cable supports gigabit Ethernet speeds, allowing it to transfer multiple channels of uncompressed, high-quality audio with low latency, which is essential for real-time audio production and live events.
At both ends, the cable is equipped with rugged EtherCON connectors, providing enhanced durability and secure connections, especially in demanding professional environments. These connectors offer superior protection compared to standard RJ45 connectors, with a sturdy metal housing that shields the connection points from damage and wear, ensuring long-lasting reliability in both touring and installation applications. This makes the CAT6-CAT6-500 ideal for scenarios where the cable will be repeatedly connected and disconnected or where it may be exposed to harsh conditions, such as in live event productions or outdoor installations.
One of the key advantages of the CAT6-CAT6-500 cable is its full compatibility with Dante AoIP networks, allowing it to integrate effortlessly into digital audio networks for transmitting high-resolution, multi-channel audio over Ethernet. With Dante's ability to carry hundreds of channels of audio over a single network, this cable becomes an essential link for maintaining a stable, low-latency network connection, enabling precise synchronization and smooth audio transmission in applications ranging from live concerts to broadcast setups.
The CAT6-CAT6-500 is also optimized for RDNet, dB Technologies' proprietary remote control and monitoring system for audio equipment. Whether you are using it to link loudspeakers or other networked audio devices, this cable guarantees reliable communication for real-time adjustments and system management, making it an invaluable tool for maintaining top-tier audio performance across a wide range of setups.
The generous 16.4-foot length provides enough flexibility for connecting devices across larger spaces without needing additional extension cables, making it suitable for mid-range connections within racks, stages, or installations. Its flexible, yet durable design allows it to be easily routed in challenging environments without compromising performance. The cable's premium build quality ensures signal integrity even in the most demanding scenarios, whether it's used for mobile setups or in permanent installations.
The DB Technologies CAT6-CAT6-500 is the perfect choice for audio professionals who demand both reliability and performance in their network connections. Its EtherCON connectors and high-quality CAT6 cabling ensure it can withstand the rigors of professional use while delivering consistent, high-speed data transmission for audio over Ethernet applications. From Dante-enabled systems to RDNet control, this cable is an essential piece of equipment for any audio setup requiring secure and efficient data communication.
This link cable is not only versatile but also designed for the highest standards of professional audio networking, ensuring that your system operates at its best, whether you're managing a live concert, a recording session, or a complex audio installation.
