Easy cabling
▶
Easier and lower cabling costs using
standard RJ45 outputs. Although
XLR connectors are widely used in
the entertainment world, when your
project isn’t traveling the world on
a regular basis, RJ45s connectors
offer the best price / performance ratio. Using standard
shielded CAT5 cable to connect your whole system also
helps keep the cost per port down. We use the standard
ANSI E1.27-2 specied RJ45 pinout to make sure most
equipment connections will be simple.
