The SoundTools CAT Box 4 is a compact, modular stage box designed to carry up to four channels of balanced analogue audio, AES3, DMX or intercom over a single Cat5e, Cat6 or Cat7 cable.

Ideal for stage snakes, installations and presentation systems, the CAT Box 4 helps reduce cable clutter by replacing multiple XLR runs with a single shielded Cat cable. Its parallel etherCON connections allow multiple CAT Boxes to be daisy-chained or configured for hard-wire splits and distributed drop points.

Available with male or female XLR connectors, the CAT Box 4 can be combined with SoundTools SuperCAT cables and other Analog Audio Over CAT5 products to create flexible, modular snake systems.
