Stagg CAT6 Professional EtherCON Drum System - 75 Metre Cable Reel

The Stagg CAT6 Professional EtherCON Drum System is a robust, reel-based network cable solution designed for demanding professional audio and data applications. It consists of a 75-metre length of high-quality CAT6 SFTP (Shielded Foiled Twisted Pair) cable wound on a convenient drum, terminating in durable EtherCON NE8MC male connectors at both ends. This specialised cable is engineered to provide reliable, high-bandwidth connectivity while withstanding the rigours of touring, live sound, and installation environments where standard Ethernet cables might fail. The system's key feature is its use of EtherCON connectors, which are ruggedised, locking versions of standard RJ45 connectors housed in robust metal shells. These connectors provide superior physical protection against damage from repeated plugging/unplugging, cable strain, and accidental impacts. The CAT6 SFTP cable itself offers enhanced shielding against electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring clean signal transmission for both network data and digital audio protocols. The included drum keeps the lengthy cable organised and tangle-free during transport and deployment, making setup and pack-down significantly more efficient. This product is ideally suited for audio engineers, system integrators, and IT professionals working in live sound, broadcast, theatre, or permanent installations where reliable, high-speed digital audio networking is critical. It is fully compatible with common audio-over-IP standards like Dante, AES50, and MADI, as well as standard computer network protocols up to 10 Gbit. The 75-metre length provides ample reach for most stage, studio, or venue setups, offering a professional-grade, durable alternative to loose cables and standard consumer-grade network patches.
