NEW TMB 50ft ProPlex CAT5E EtherCON Cable

The NEW TMB 50ft ProPlex CAT5E EtherCON Cable is a road-ready Ethernet patch cable built for portable use in entertainment production and staging. Premium ProPlex CAT5e Ultra will replace popular ProPlex CAT5e. Designed specifically for portable use in the Entertainment Production and Staging market, ProPlex CAT5e was the FIRST road-worthy, dependable, verified Ethernet patch cable, combining long-term reliability and optimum handling characteristics with unsurpassed critical data integrity, all proven over ten-plus years of professional industry use, over five million meters of cable sold, and over millions of touring miles traveled.

Suitable for indoor, outdoor, and temporary underwater applications, ProPlex CAT5e Ultra uses S/FTP construction to deliver fully verified Gigabit performance with almost zero skew and strong noise resistance in electrically challenging environments. It keeps the durability and easy handling of the original ProPlex CAT5e while adding performance-focused upgrades intended for real-world touring, rental, and event workflows where cables are repeatedly deployed, coiled, and transported.

Key Features for Portable Ethernet Runs

• Full CAT5e performance and data integrity, verified up to 90m for dependable network links across stages, truss, and FOH positions.
• Minimal transmission degradation, even after years of heavy use and abuse.
• Kevlar reinforced, stranded conductors for long-term portable reliability.
• Tear and cut-proof, UV-resistant outer jacket for demanding indoor and outdoor setups.
• Suitable for use in CAT6 applications.
• Excellent DC resistance, low attenuation, and low N.E.X.T. (near-end crosstalk loss) to help maintain signal integrity.
• High tensile strength, extreme durability, and easy handling and coiling for fast strikes and load-outs.

Where It Fits

This cable is designed for Ethernet-based production systems and networks that demand stable data transport in harsh environments, including lighting control, audio networking, and show-control infrastructure. The EtherCON-style connectivity is commonly used in live-event workflows for a more secure, stage-friendly connection than standard RJ45-only patch cables.
