Adam Hall 4 STAR CATBOX XF5 Audio & DMX Multicore 4 XLR 5-Pol Female x Cat.6a

Adam Hall 4 STAR CATBOX XF5 - Audio & DMX multicore adapter 4 x XLR 5-pin female to Cat.6a

The Adam Hall 4 STAR CATBOX XF5 is a versatile, professional multicore adapter solution for transmitting up to four balanced audio signals or DMX data via a single Cat.6a network cable. Whether on stage, in the studio or in fixed installations - this compact adapter from the 4 STAR SERIES ensures order, flexibility and reliable signal routing in a small space.

Thanks to wiring in accordance with AES72 scheme 5E and full compatibility with other Adam Hall CATBOX products, users can flexibly expand and combine their setup. Ideal for musicians, sound engineers and lighting professionals looking for space-saving and intelligent cabling solutions.

Four balanced signals via one network cable

With the CATBOX XF5, four XLR 5-pin female signals(e.g. DMX, AES/EBU or balanced audio) can be transported via the four wire pairs of a standard or etherCON®-compatible RJ-45 cable. The box thus replaces four conventional XLR cables and not only saves space, but also weight and set-up time - a clever solution for modern stage and studio technology.

The box is wired according to AES72 5E and is fully compatible with all other CATBOX adapters from Adam Hall as well as many third-party products that follow the same standard. The numbered XLR sockets make it easier to assign channels and avoid mismatching in hectic live situations.

Robust construction for professional use

The 0.3 m long outgoing cables are equipped with a PVC jacket and additional braided jacket, which protects the cables against mechanical influences and at the same time ensures flexibility and durability. The RJ-45 socket is robustly embedded and enables the use of standard network cables or shielded etherCON® connections for maximum signal stability.

All XLR sockets are from the high-quality Adam Hall K4CXF5BLK series and are equipped with silver-plated contacts - for the best possible conductivity and reliable long-term performance. The all-black color scheme ensures an unobtrusive appearance on dark stages or in studios.

Versatile, compatible and cleverly designed

The CATBOX XF5 is not only ideal for transporting audio signals (e.g. in-ear monitoring, AES/EBU, submix outputs), but also for DMX cabling with up to four lines via a single Cat cable. Thanks to the standardized pin assignment and numbering, the system can be expanded as required and easily integrated into existing infrastructures.

Another advantage: All Adam Hall CATBOX models are compatible with each other - even mixed forms with XLR male/female or TRS variants can be combined without hesitation.

Conclusion: Space-saving multicore adapter for modern setups

The Adam Hall 4 STAR CATBOX XF5 is the ideal solution for users who rely on compact, flexible and professional cabling solutions. With four XLR channels via a network cable, robust design, high-quality workmanship and maximum compatibility with the AES72 standard, this product offers an intelligent alternative to conventional multicores - for both audio and DMX applications.
