Product Overview
Introducing the premium ProPlex CAT5e Ultra 2X Figure-8, set to replace the highly regarded ProPlex CAT5e 2X. Crafted specifically for the Entertainment Production and Staging industry, ProPlex CAT5e was the pioneering Ethernet patch cable built for the road, boasting unparalleled reliability, handling, and data integrity. With a track record of over a decade in the field, five million meters sold, and millions of touring miles covered, its reputation speaks for itself.
Now, the ProPlex CAT5e Ultra takes this legacy further. Featuring S/FTP construction, it retains all the beloved qualities of its predecessor — exceptional durability, seamless handling, and verified Gigabit performance. Additionally, it offers enhanced noise resistance and nearly zero skew, making it ideal for indoor, outdoor, and even temporary underwater applications, ensuring reliability in the most challenging environments.
