The ETS InstaSnake Series (PA200) is a compact, lightweight,

versatile passive group of components allowing you to run audio
signals over a single run of CAT5, 5E or 6 cables. With a roll of wire,
these compact units are easily transported and/or stored solving
dozens of live and/or recording sound problems.

The InstaSnake is a passive unit, so you do not need power. The
InstaSnake accepts ‘mic ’level, line level, analog or digital audio and
supports phantom power.

The basic units are a pair of passive units with bi-directional
capability which can be input directly into analog or digital consoles.
Designed to the highest professional standards the InstaSnake has a
wide, flat frequency response, low THD and residual noise. The
InstaSnake has been factory tested to 1900 feet over CAT5 using
low Z dynamic microphones. Phantom power has been tested to 850
feet over shielded cable. PA205 will send phantom power over
standard Cat5 or 6 cables.

The InstaSnake is available in 2 basic send/receive units which
can be mounted in a 2u 19” rack, plus units with pigtails, wall plate
versions. The PA202P with (4) 18” pigtails lets you access the mixer
without the need for an additional 4 microphone cables.
