The EtherCon Connector

The Neutrik® EtherCon connector is a dual RJ45 type connector. It can receive a standard Category 5e cable or a cable fitted with the special heavy-duty EtherCon connector.

When using a standard Cat-5e cable, plug the cable into the center of the jack; release the cable by pressing on the small plastic tab built into the cable connector.

The locking EtherCon connector is similar to an XLR cable, the kind commonly used on microphones. Insert the EtherCon equipped cable into the jack until it clicks and locks in place. To remove

the cable, press on the metal release tab at the top of the panel- mounted EtherCon jack and pull the connector outward.
