Whirlwind’s new Catdusa serves as a convenient way to use Cat5 or Cat6 Ethernet cable for transmitting analog audio, AES/EBU digital audio or DMX lighting control. Catdusa is a four-channel analog snake box that uses shielded Cat5 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), lets users daisy chain multiple boxes. If shielded Cat5 cable is used, Catdusa can pass phantom power and DMX. The Mini stage box design means Catdusa can be placed almost anywhere. There’s also a rackmount accessory that houses two Catdusas.
