Description
Locking Connectivity for Pro AV Networks
The Hosa EtherLOK Cat6 cable is built to keep mission-critical audio and video networks connected. A rugged locking shell, compatible with Neutrik etherCON® chassis connectors, eliminates accidental disconnects on stage or in the studio.
Unlike stiff installation cables, the EtherLOK series uses flexible 26 AWG shielded conductors — durable enough for the road, easy to coil and handle for touring professionals.
- Secure: Locking connectors prevent accidental unplugging.
- Fast: Designed to meet Cat6 specifications for Gigabit speeds (1000 Mbps).
- Flexible: 26 AWG stranded design coils easily and lays flat.
- Clean: SF/UTP overall braid-and-foil shield blocks EMI/RFI from stage power and lighting.
A Disconnected Cable Is a Show-Stopper
In live sound and networked audio, signal continuity is everything. Hosa ETC Series EtherLOK cables provide a secure connection for dynamic environments. The locking connector shell protects the RJ45 termination and locks into standard etherCON® chassis jacks, keeping your signal connected even when cables are pulled, tripped over, or stepped on during a performance.
Optimized for High-Bandwidth Protocols
Designed to meet Cat6 specifications, EtherLOK cables support Gigabit transmission speeds (1000 Mbps) at up to 250 MHz bandwidth. This throughput makes them well suited to low-latency audio protocols including Dante, AES50, and AVB, as well as DMX-over-Ethernet lighting control.
Tour-Ready Flexibility & Shielding
Touring cables need to behave differently than wall cables. The EtherLOK series uses 26 AWG Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) conductors for the flexibility to coil easily at the end of the night. An SF/UTP construction — an overall braid and foil shield over the twisted pairs — rejects EMI/RFI noise from nearby power amps and lighting dimmers.
