Multi-Channel Assembly vs. Separate Cables
| Comparison | Multi-Channel Assembly | Separate Network Cables |
|---|---|---|
| Deployment | Several network connections deploy together | Every cable must be deployed separately |
| Organization | Cables are organized inside braided sleeving | Loose cables are more likely to tangle or separate |
| Identification | Channels are identified at both ends | Individual labeling must be managed separately |
| Handling | Creates one manageable professional network harness | Creates several independent cable runs |
| Best Use | Connections that follow the same route | Connections that travel to different locations |

Frequently Asked Questions
How many independent network connections are included?
Each selected channel provides one independent CAT6 network connection. For example, a six-channel assembly provides six separate EtherCON-to-EtherCON network circuits.
Does every channel support Gigabit Ethernet?
Each CAT6 channel is designed for Gigabit Ethernet and 1000BASE-T when used with compatible equipment and within applicable network-length requirements.
Can this assembly be used with Dante and AES67?
Yes. Each channel can be used with compatible Dante, AES67 and other Ethernet-based professional AV equipment.
Are the channels identified?
Yes. Every independent network channel is identified at both ends to simplify setup, connection and troubleshooting.
Are all the network cables permanently bundled together?
The individual CAT6 cables are organized inside flexible expandable braided sleeving to create one manageable multi-channel assembly.
Should I choose CAT6 or CAT6A?
Choose this multi-channel CAT6 assembly when several Gigabit Ethernet connections need to follow the same route. Choose the single-channel CAT6A tactical cable when you need one rugged network connection with CAT6A performance.
Can AV-Cables build a custom version?
Yes. Custom channel counts, lengths, fan-out dimensions, identification and production quantities may be available.
Choose our single-channel CAT6A EtherCON tactical cable when only one rugged professional network connection is required.
