Designed for dependable performance, the Klark Teknik NCAT5E-50M is a ruggedized 164' tour-grade network cable reel that's exclusively designed utilizing Neutrik and Schill components for mobile pro audio applications. Its heavy-duty etherFLEX cable with etherCON connectors ideally lends itself to medium and long cable runs of AES50, Dante, EtherSound, CobraNet, AVB audio networking, or general purpose Ethernet remote control.

• Original ultra-rugged and highly flexible Neutrik etherFLEX Cat5e cable
• Length: 164' (50 m)
• Tested for both AES50 and EtherSound audio networking
• Dual shielding for protection against EMI and ESD interference
• Dual jacket construction with PUR and FRNC layers for enhanced cable resilience
• Shielded Hirose RJ45 protected by Neutrik etherCON connectors on both ends
• Robust and lightweight Schill cable drum with auxiliary winder and integrated break
• Extend two 164' cables to 328' using optional Neutrik NE8FF connector (not included)
• Rubber caps on etherCON connectors cover terminals during setup and transport
• Velcro straps secure cable ends during transportation

• The EtherFLEX ruggedized cable structure includes 4 pairs of stranded 26 AWG wires able to withstand repeated flexing and stress much better than solid wires. The wires are surrounded by conductive foil and additional braided shielding for consistently high rejection ratios against EMI, RF and ESD. Its inner FRNC jacket is separated from the rugged outer FLEX PUR jacket by a thin layer of talc powder for improved cable handling properties.
• The NCAT5E-50M is not only flexible in terms of its superior mechanical properties—it also can be deployed in many situations. If a single 164' run is not sufficient, you can extend two cables to 328' using the optional Neutrik NE8FF connector. Simply unwind the cable from the drum.
• If you need AES50 connections exceeding the typical 328' limit of CAT5 Ethernet, Klark Teknik’s DN9610 Extenders or DN9620 Repeaters provide a very cost-effective solution.

• The Schill cable drum is a de facto industry standard for European pro audio cable drums. The unbreakable synthetic rubber material is as strong and resilient as steel, but more durable and much lighter in weight. The specialty material can withstand temperatures from -20°C to +70°C and is resistant to chemicals, oils, and petrol.
• The integrated adjustable break stops any inadvertent drum rotation. A 6.6' cable length is wound on the auxiliary spool to easily connect the drum to the mixing console. Rubber caps on both etherCON connectors cover terminals during setup and transport and hook-and-loop fasteners secure cable ends during transportation.

Q: 1. Does this stack up in Windows PC so that i can get 48+ bidirectional channels in 96khz?

A: No stacking. The DN9630 features a single AES50 connector, while the single USB 2.0 port connects directly to a Windows/Mac computer, offering up to 48 bidirectional channels at 48 kHz and 24 bidirectional channels at 96 kHz sample rates

Q: 2. my reel isn’t fitting 35mm film, it keeps falling off of the reel when i try to use it?? i’ve tried this with ilford and kodak and neither fit?

A: Unfortunately, that does not seem to be typical with the Paterson reels and could be due to a faulty product or user error. I'd recommend practicing with a previously developed or unimportantly roll of 35mm with the lights on just to see if you can get it to work. If not, please give us a call or live-chat and we can figure out this issue together.

Q: 3. can't you just use a network switch to repeat the cat 5 or is AES50 not IP?

A: Correct, AES50 is not IP.

Q: 4. Will you make, or where can I find, an AES50 Splitter??? 1 AES50 IN to 2 Replicated AES50 OUTS.

A: Try this: Black Box RJ45 Unshielded Mod Splitter 1RJ45/4RJ45 A Pin BH #BLFM800R2

Q: 5. I use midas m32 mixer and dl32 stage box, i can use klark teknik dn9620 on fiber cable? klark teknik dn9620 have Rx and Tx? I buy one order have1 pair ithe box?

A: That is correct, you would need another Klark Teknik DN9620 or a device that has an opticalCON port. This is illustrated on page 07 of the manual for the Klark Teknik DN9620. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/794460/Klark-Teknik-Dn9620.html?page=7#manual

Q: 6. Does this reel come with the handle and crank? Description says they're optional, but I don't see them listed under the accessories.

A: As you see it, it comes with the tall, non-folding top handle and that direct crank handle. However, if you need to save space, you can order an optional, folding top handle and an optional, removable crank handle.

Q: 7. What is the latency? Would it satisfy a live software-based keyboard rig?

A: Unfortunately the manufacturer has not published those spec's.

Q: 8. Can Samigon reels be used in this tank?

A: Unfortunately, this tank only accepts Jobo reels.

Q: 9. Will this record the 32 mono channels coming in or just a stereo channel of the mix in the board?

A: This would allow for multi track when used with appropriate mixing board. The Board needs AES50 connection.

Q: 10. Is the Jobo 1520 tank compatible with the lid of the 2520 tank (Jobo Inversion Lid for 1500 & 2500 System Tanks, #03046)?

A: Yes, the Jobo 1520 UniTank with 1501 Reel works with the Jobo Inversion Lid for 1500 & 2500 System Tanks, #03046.
