LyxPro 4-Channel XLR to Cat6 Ethercon Breakout Box Pair, Male & Female

I've purchased six of these over the last couple of months. I've used all six of the female XLR ends, and I've used only two of the male ends. In all cases I've used the version with 4 wires (fan out) instead of these stage boxes on the other end. So even though I've stockpiled 4 unused male ends, I still find these to be cost effective. I've run 150' CAT6 Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) with these with no noticeable noise or cross-talk, even when I turn up the gain on an unused channel and boost the headphone volume on my mixer. I would guess the cross-talk is at least 80dB down, and that is perfectly appropriate for all of my sound system needs. I've taken most of these apart to drill holes in the back and permanently mount them around the chancels of churches. They are well constructed inside with a good quality circuit board that connects all five connectors. To take one apart, undo the four screws on the end with the Cat6 connector and pull that end straight out so that the front panel with the 4XLRs slides out with it. Then mount the empty box and slide the connectors back in to close it up. I'm also carrying a female box end and a male fan-out end in my mobile sound system. I find it faster and much easier to run a single Cat6 cable compared to running a multi-core snake or 4 mic lines. It is very easy to carry 4 Cat6 cables of various lengths, and use the smallest one that reaches. These make my whole stage look neater.

This is a fantastic piece of gear. Rock-solid build, clean signal, and zero noise even on long cable runs. The connectors lock in perfectly and feel like pro studio quality, reliable, sturdy, and worth every dollar.

I purchased 3 sets of these for our church. Reduced the number of long cable runs from 12 to 3. We now have 3 zones to our stage. Reconfiguring is greatly simplified. With shielded CAT6 Ethernet cables there is no noise and phantom power works just fine. I wish these were around when we bought all of those long XLR cables. These also could have been used instead of our 12x 4 snake. I highly recommend and, if needed, I will buy again.

The LyxPro 4-Channel XLR Breakout has been a solid solution for extending audio signals from FOH to the stage via an Ethernet cable. It’s worked well for my setup, but keep in mind that if you need both input and output on stage, you’ll need two pairs. Using a high-quality Ethernet cable is essential to avoid any signal loss—I used a custom CAT6 cable, connecting my Tonor microphone receiver’s XLR output to the LyxPro input. On the other end, I routed it out to the hybrid XLR/TRS port on my travel mixer’s first channel. Great performance overall, but quality cabling is key for best results!

Just what I've been looking for. I have a traditional 12 channel snake in my home studio. It goes from one end of the room to the other past a doorway causing a trip hazard. I've wanted to cut a hole in the wall & feed the thing under the floor but it's just too thick with all the XLR's. Other option is cut two 3.5" holes in my hardwood floor. Not gonna happen. Additionally the drum mic cables run on the floor past another doorway and I was kinda running out of connections anyway. With this gizmo I can easily run the CAT cable through the wall directly to the Drums eliminating a bunch of issues. Only downside. I wanted to disassemble the unit, pull out the guts enough so I could safely drill the case to screw in some brackets and bolt it down. The configuration doesn't really allow you to do that. Honestly some sort of arrangement should just be part of the case. I'll probably end up using some strong double sided tape instead, not my first choice.

I only had two opportunities to run this in the last 4 months, but work EXACTLY how I wanted to both times and save me from running +200’ extra cable. The only drawback is that it requires a 9 conductor Ethernet cable (last one for ground) which you’ll have to dig for, but if you’re messing with something like this, you probably know what you’re doing. I got a 100’ Cat7 for a little over $30. So a whole 100’ 4 channel snake for $80 that’s super compact isn’t a bad deal. Throw in a couple pairs of turn arounds and you got yourself a very useful tool for streamlining your work. I just wish I bought this sooner. I had situations in the past that could have used it.

These are exactly what we needed and a great value for the price. Les noise over a 100ft Ethernet cable that over the 25ft xlr cables we had. The build is decent. Not sure how long they will last but it’s a church stage so we are not tough on equipment.

No hums. No issues. Just 4 balanced XLR connections running through a single RJ45 Cat-6 Ethernet Network Cable. Really helps tidy up those cable runs.

Exelente producto solo recuerda que solo funciona con cable ftp con malla y conector blindado ya que por la malla se trasmite el pin 1

Not good

The price and effortless setup of these almost made it seem too good to be true! These work GREAT and since only a single CAT-6 cable is needed to link them, I could tuck the cable under my home studio baseboards so it's completely invisible as it runs along my room to the snake output in the far corner. Sound quality is great, durability is great, phantom power works great, they use quality locking connectors. I used a third-party 25ft Shielded CAT-6 cable to save some money over the LyxPro branded one.

These use 2 cores for each XLR so obviously your audio signal becomes unbalanced and you will hear unwanted noise

Recently moved audio equipment to a loft/balcony at the church and DID NOT want to run snake cables along walls and floors - Cat5 happened to be already in the walls, so this seemed the perfect solution. Instructions say to use Cat6, but since it was only a 75 foot run, we thought we'd see how it works - NO NOISE, NO CROSS TALK, WORKED PERFECTLY! You literally just plug a Cat5 into each box and you're done. We fed three instruments UP to the mixer and the monitor output back DOWN on the 4th channel.
