ProX 4-Channel XLR-F Snake Box

The ProX XC-SBCAT6-4XF is a portable snake box built for live sound, recording and DMX lighting applications. It transmits up to four discrete analog audio or digital DMX signals over a single CAT-5, CAT-5E or CAT-6 cable. The rugged metal enclosure is designed for road-ready durability. Gold-plated contacts help maintain signal integrity across the connection.

Suits audio and lighting techs needing long runs

This unit suits technicians who want to replace bulky multi-core looms with a single Ethernet cable for mic, line, AES/EBU or DMX signals. It also supports 48V phantom power when used with screened twisted-pair CAT-x cable. Buyers who need more than four channels must add a second snake box to expand the system. It does not process or convert the signals passing through it.

Requires the XC-SBCAT6-4XM counterpart

A complete link requires the matching XC-SBCAT6-4XM snake box at the other end of the CAT-x cable. The two boxes form a working pair for four-channel signal distribution. Without the companion unit, this box cannot pass signals to another device. The system operates passively and needs no external power supply.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the snake box is passing audio or DMX correctly after connecting it?

Verify each of the four XLR-F channels carries signal with a cable tester or by monitoring the output at the far end; the unit supports 48V phantom power when used with screened CAT-x cable.

What comes with the ProX XC-SBCAT6-4XF and what must I purchase separately?

The box includes the 4-channel XLR-F snake enclosure only; a matching XC-SBCAT6-4XM unit and a CAT-5, CAT-5E or CAT-6 cable are required to complete the link.

When should I choose the XLR-F version versus the XLR-M counterpart?

Select the XC-SBCAT6-4XF when you need female XLR connectors at this end of the run; pair it with the XC-SBCAT6-4XM which provides male XLRs for the opposite side.
