The PBE-202 Audio Snake comprises a pair metal boxes that are used to send up to four audio signals over a single run of CAT-5, CAT-5E or CAT-6 cables. They are low-cost, compact, lightweight and together with a roll of CAT5 cable can solve dozens of live and/or recording real world sound problems.

These passive units (no power required) are bidirectional and carry 4x independent audio signals many hundreds of metres without hum or interference – including Mic level signals and phantom power.

Designed to the highest professional standards the PBE-202 Audio Snake has a wide, flat frequency response, low THD distortion and residual noise.

You can mix and match Mic/Line, Line or AES/EBU configurations making the Audio Snake a very versatile high quality means of transporting analogue or digital audio. The Audio Snake has been factory tested over CAT-5 UTP to 600m (1,900 ft approx) using low Z dynamic microphones and Phantom Power tested to 280m (850ft approx) using shielded cable (STP).
