The Camplex 4-Channel LC Single-Mode Fiber Tactical Snake comes in a reel of 1250'. It is a ruggedized multichannel fiber optic cable designed for multiple field production deployments in outside broadcast, rental houses, and more. It is a highly flexible, tight-buffered tactical cable with internal aramid strength members for crush resistance in high-traffic areas (if handled properly), and a polyurethane outer sheath designed to withstand crushing by both military tanks and outside broadcast vehicles. All assemblies are multi-stage machine-polished and tested for <0.55 dB RL, with test results for each channel supplied with each cable.

The tactical fiber snake comes in a Schill fiber optic cable reel with connector protection cavity and a hinged latching door. The Schill reel has been carefully selected to ensure proper support and critical bend radius required by fiber optic cables.

Q: 2. Is this actually 12 channels or is it 8 like the picture? I ordered the 12 channel one in 50' but when it came it was only 8 channels.

A: Whirlwind Medusa Multitrack snakes are available as 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24 or 32 line configurations. Other channel counts are available as special orders. They are built with XLR, RCA jacks, or 1/4 TRS plugs. Each fanout can be specified with distinct connector types and signal polarity. When the same type of connector is specified at each end, wiring is pin to pin. Wire mesh hanger grips can be ordered as an option. If you received the wrong configuration, please contact your B&H sales representative to discuss this issue. The snake model number must be configured and then ordered for you.See details here: a href= http://www.whirlwindusa.com/catalog/snakes-splitters-and-multiwiring-systems/snakes/medusa-multitrack-audio-snake target= _blank www.whirlwindusa.com/catalog/snakes-splitters-and-multiwiring-systems/snakes/medusa-multitrack-audio-snake/aThank you.

Q: 3. Does this add hiss or ground-loop hum to the signal or is it clean?

A: I installed the Art phantom power supply in our pulpit microphone circuit when the phantom power supply portion of our sanctuary mixer board would intermittently fail. I have not noticed any unusual hiss or hum from the sanctuary speakers or our Youtube live stream recording. I cannot say how it would do for critical recording. The ART power supply does have internal isolation capacitors and a small external AC power supply (wall wart) which will provide a little more isolation from ground loops.

Q: 4. Is this an active or passive device?

A: This is passive.

Q: 5. Is the AC power adapter supplied ?

A: Yes, the Rolls PB23 Single Channel Phantom Power Supply includes the Rolls PS27s AC Power Adapter with purchase.

Q: 6. We at our church are having trouble with our sound system. We have a Xenyx 1222FX Mixer and a Whirlwind Medusa 16x XLR send and 4x XLR return stage box. We have had some individuals mess with the set-up and do not have instructions to get it back functioning. What are the orange high-lighted inputs A, B, C, and D. What should be plugged into one or all of them? The octopus harness seems easy enough to figure out. If there is a user's manual for the Whirlwind, I sure would like to have one. Thanks, Clint

A: The return jacks on a snake generally connect to the outputs of a mixer either mains or monitor for connection to amps, powered monitor speakers or on occasion a headphone monitoring system.

Q: 7. Can you run DMX with this?

Q: 9. Will This work with the Blackmagic Design ATEM Talkback Converter 4K?

A: According to the manufacturer, this will work with the Blackmagic Design ATEM Talkback Converter 4K.

Q: 10. What distance can this be used to send remote audio from a PC output source to a recorder?

A: The Catapult Mini system can send a signal up to a maximum of 300’ without issue. However, due to the economical nature of ethernet cable these systems are susceptible to interference from the surrounding environment. Because of this how long it can actually run will vary by the location. This system works in correlation with the Radial Engineering Catapult Mini TX 4-Channel Cat 5 Audio Snake, BH #RAR8008028. You will need bot the transmitter and receiver.
