Data infrastructure for connecting network devices on stage, in studio and at live events, ranging from short patch leads of a few centimetres to drum-wound runs of 80 to 100 metres. CAT-5, CAT-5E and CAT-6 cables in U/UTP and SF-UTP variants cover point-to-point links, patch bays and long backbone runs between switches, servers and control positions. Switches, routers and Ethercon cabling in the linked subcategories extend this into complete network builds for temporary venues and touring setups.
Typical uses include linking media servers, lighting and video control desks, audio networks and IT equipment where a stable wired connection is required over standard Wi-Fi. The range of lengths and cable grades allows runs to be matched to distance, routing and bandwidth needs, from short jumpers within a rack to cabling strung across a stage or backstage area.
