Four lines, one Ethernet run, any mount.
Four lines of analog audio, AES/EBU or DMX down one shielded CAT cable. Run it as a whip today and bolt it into a rack panel tomorrow.
- Rack-mount or loose whip
- Carbon-fiber-reinforced body
- Genuine NEUTRIK XX XLRs
- Custom labeling available
A top-mounted, IP-rated NEUTRIK etherCON pass-through breaks out to four 3- or 5-pin XLRs, so it plugs straight into your analog or digital source. Pair it with a second CAT-SASS-V2 and you send and receive four balanced lines over a single Ethernet run.
The V2 is a ground-up redesign of the body, the mounting and the labeling, and it keeps the connectivity our customers have relied on for years. The heavy folded-steel housing is gone: the whole unit now weighs less than the old housing did on its own.

What's new in V2
Lighter than the old shell
A patent-pending carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer body replaces folded steel. The complete unit weighs less than the old housing alone.
Modular mounting
Use it as a loose whip, or mount it with M3 bolts or sandwich it onto a standard D-hole. Fits most blank D-hole rack panels and wall plates.
Route it front or back
The interior wiring harness separates completely from the pass-through, so the cable can come through the front or the back of the panel.
Labels that stay put
Top and bottom labeling trays, a first for the line, so every unit in the rack says exactly what it carries.

Built for the rack, happy without one
The etherCON pass-through is the mounting point, so the V2 drops into the same D-hole as any panel connector. Out of the rack, it's the same compact whip it has always been.
Mix and match: run a pair of whips for a one-off show, then panel-mount them in the install when the gig becomes permanent.

Works with what you already run
Analog audio, AES/EBU and DMX all ride the same four pairs, and anything built on 3- or 5-pin XLR plugs in, including ClearCom and other party-line intercom. Use shielded CAT5e, CAT6 or CAT7 between the two ends.
Your name on the cable
Custom labeling is what makes a cable yours. Tell us what the label should say and we print it and put it on the cable, so the cable that walks off at load-out walks back.
V2 has labeling trays on the top and the bottom of the body.
