Radial Engineering Catapult TX4 4-Channel Cat 5 Snake – Audio & AES Signal Transmission Stagebox for Balanced Analog and Digital Network Routing

The Radial Engineering Catapult TX4 4-Channel Cat 5 Snake is a professional multi-channel audio and AES signal transmitter stagebox designed for efficient long-distance signal transport over standard shielded Ethernet (Cat 5) cable in live sound, broadcast, and studio applications.

The TX4 allows up to four channels of balanced analog or AES/EBU digital audio to be converted into a single Cat 5 connection, dramatically reducing cable bulk while maintaining high-quality signal transmission. This makes it ideal for stage setups, studio installs, and mobile rigs where long cable runs and fast setup times are required.

At the receiving end (when paired with compatible Catapult receivers), the signal is converted back into standard balanced audio, ensuring transparent, low-noise performance across the entire signal path. The system supports both analog and digital formats, making it highly flexible for modern hybrid audio environments.

Built for reliability, the TX4 uses high-quality shielding and rugged metal construction to ensure stable transmission and resistance to interference, even in demanding live stage conditions. It is designed to work with standard shielded Cat 5, Cat 5e, or Cat 6 cables, making it both cost-effective and easy to deploy.

Because it is part of a passive-style networked audio system, the TX4 requires no external power at the transmission stage, contributing to its simplicity and reliability in field use.
