HOSA ETC-125 EtherLOK Cat6 Shielded Network Cable, 25-ft

In the world of live sound and networked audio, a disconnected cable is a show-stopper. Hosa ETC Series EtherLOK  cables are engineered to provide a secure, rock-solid connection for dynamic environments. The locking connector shell protects the RJ45 termination and locks into standard etherCON® chassis jacks, ensuring your signal stays connected even when cables are pulled, tripped over, or stepped on during a performance.

Designed to meet Cat6 specifications, EtherLOK cables support Gigabit transmission speeds (1000Mbps) at up to 250MHz bandwidth. This high-speed throughput makes them the ideal choice for low-latency audio protocols including Dante, AES50, AVB, and MADI, DMX-over-Ethernet lighting control, and 4-channel balanced audio.

Hosa understands that touring cables need to behave differently than wall cables. The EtherLOK series utilizes 26 AWG Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) conductors, providing the flexibility needed to coil easily at the end of the night without fighting you. To protect your data in electrically harsh environments, the cables utilize an SF/UTP (Shielded and Foiled) design, rejecting crosstalk and EMI/RFI noise from nearby power amps and lighting dimmers.
