SYSCAT4 - Stage-strong and signal-proof
Stage power redefined: The SYSCAT4 series
The SYSCAT4 series from Sommer cable sets new standards in stage and event technology. This innovative product family enables the reliable transmission of up to four analogue or eight digital AES/EBU or DMX signals over distances of up to 100 metres using stage-compatible CAT cables.
At the centre of the SYSCAT4 series is a highly developed splice adapter. This consists of the robust and compact HI-HOUSING metal housing, which contains an integrated EtherCON RJ45 full metal panel jack and a stable cable gland. The adapter is combined with a 50 cm long 4-way splice made from the flexible and robust SC-SEMICOLON 2 digital patch cable and equipped with NEUTRIK or HICON XLR connectors. The channel assignment is clearly labelled on the connectors to ensure quick and easy handling.
The SYSCAT4 series also includes matching floor stage boxes with EtherCON NE8FDV connectors, which offer four XLR 3-pin female and male connectors in parallel. There are also 19’ patch units in the SYSPANEL housing, which enable a high packing density on just 1 U. These offer space for 18 connections (2 x EtherCON NE8FDV <> 2 x 4 x XLR 3-pin female + male in parallel) as well as an additional connection option via the SYSBOXX 14-pin system.

SYSCAT4 patch panel for rack installationOur popular stage-ready CAT cables are also ideal for the simultaneous transmission of up to four analog, AES/EBU or DMX signals. These compact rack panels in the Sommer cable SYSPAN housing are perfectly suited as a counterpart to the SBE-1240 or SBE-1242 floor stage boxes or the SYSCAT4 splice adapters.
The enclosure is based on the proven SYSPANEL enclosure and is very compact and robust. All connections are available at the front. The panel offers one female and one parallel male XLR from the NEUTRIK® A series per channel as well as one EtherCON per 4 channels. The labeling is laser-engraved on the surface "for eternity" and also includes the pinout for maximum intuitive usability and reliable compatibility with all other systems on the market. A 14-pin connector is also available internally for each 4-channel group - this can be used to connect the entire range of module boards from the SYSBOXX family - for almost infinite combination possibilities.Our assignment complies with the AES72 Type 3B standard. Here in detail:
Channel 1 = pins 4(+)/5(-)
Channel 2 = Pins 3(+)/6(-)
Channel 3 = pins 1(+)/2(-)
Channel 4 = pins 7(+)+8(-)
