Neutrik NE8MX-1 etherCON Cable Connector Carrier for RJ45 Plugs

Standard RJ45 plugs are fragile and easily disconnected in professional environments. The Neutrik NE8MX-1 etherCON Cable Connector Carrier solves this by providing a rugged, lockable housing for non pre-assembled RJ45 connectors. It converts a standard RJ45 plug into a robust etherCON connector suitable for demanding audio, video, and data applications.

Who is it for

AV technicians, network engineers, and system integrators who need reliable Ethernet connections in stage, studio, or industrial settings. It is ideal for building custom cables with standard RJ45 plugs while gaining the durability and locking security of the etherCON system.
