These are great. Be sure to use shielded connectors as there will be noise if not. So much better than a large cable snake.

This 4 channel digital snake came nicely packaged with great build quality. The components are put together well with good looking solder joints and XLR fittings that look on par with other noteable name brand alternatives. The housing looks like aluminum extruded tubing with plastic end caps that capture the XLR fittings and Ethercon connector. While the main 4 strand gland going into the housing says IP68, I'm not sure I'd test that water resistance on the housing itself. But the XLR glands do have rubber rings to help prevent moisture from getting into the connector.

These audio-over-ethernet snakes are a fantastic invention. 4 properly twisted mic lines over one relatively inexpensive ethernet cable. (I have the Cable Matters ethernet cable with locking EtherCON connectors, and highly recommend it, but any Cat 6 cable will do.)The breakout boxes are sturdy and the color coding makes it easy to keep track of everything. Instead of mic cables all around my home studio, I now just have a couple ethernet cables. Absolutely fantastic.

These things are great. They aren't that expensive and are a great way to run a few "emergency" cables when needed. The "digital" is a misnomer. There is nothing digital about these boxes. They are merely using the 8 conductors in the CAT5/6 cable, along with the shield to make connections. Which comes to a major distinction. GET SHIELDED CAT5E/6 ETHERNET CABLE. Without that shield, your XLRs are not shielded. You don't need ethercon (but they are nice), but you do need shielded ethernet cables. Being able to keep these in a bag with a 50ft ethernet/ethercon cable has saved me from running 4 long cables (if I had them), or just when I need to connect a small wireless rig to a mixer, I also usually carry a 10ft ethernet cable as well. In reality, the cost of the boxes and ethernet cable is probably a little less than 4-25' cables of the same quality. However, you can easily extend these 4 with just a switch of one cable, instead of re-running 4 longer XLR audio cables. Get some, keep them in your "Go-box". You'll appreciate your preparedness sooner than you think!

The title to the listing can be misleading. This is -- not -- a DAC/ADC box. It is a media converter that allows you to run analog or AES 3 audio over a run of Category5/6 twisted pair networking cable. It will -- not -- allow you to run audio over an existing data network.That said, it is very useful for specific use cases, whether a run of analog audio cable is not suitable, either because of space or weight constrains. Using twisted pair, shielded networking cable usually rejects hum and other interference and RJ 45 connectors provide a sturdy electrical connection.The boxes are aluminum and inside the work seems solid. The rubber-looking end caps are solid fairly thin plastic rather than a rubber-like material that can absorb repeated shocks. This may matter if your intended use involves live sound or repeated set-up and tear-downs.

If you need phantom power, this snake does NOT provide it.
