Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is it a 3-pin or 5-pin connector? This listing refers to the RJ-4 XLR 3 ( 3-pin female XLR). There is also an RJ-4 XLR 5 variant with a 5-pin female XLR for other uses (e.g., lighting), which follows the same design principles.
-
Does it work for Ethernet/IP networks? No. It's a passive adapter for transmitting balanced signals over CAT-5e cabling; it doesn't convert to network protocols and isn't compatible with PoE or switches.
-
Does it need power? No. It does not require an external power source.
Usage recommendations
- Verify the pinout of the RJ45 device or panel you will be pairing it with to ensure channel and polarity matching.
- Avoid aggressive pulls and bend radii; the short section ( 0.50 m ) is intended for close patching .
- Label each XLR to quickly identify the four channels.
