The Hosa Pro-Conex Female XLR to RJ45 Extender (DFX-345F) transforms standard shielded Cat cable into a four-channel analog audio snake, eliminating the weight and expense of traditional multi-core runs. This passive breakout features a female XLR fan-out designed to accept signals from microphones, instruments, or DI boxes, consolidating four balanced channels into a single lightweight network cable. The galvanised steel housing withstands impact and crushing forces, while a locking RJ45 Ethercon-compatible connector prevents accidental disconnection during transport or installation.

Operating entirely in the analog domain, the DFX-345F requires no external power, produces zero latency, and introduces no digital conversion artifacts. The integrated breakout whip terminates in four 3-pin female XLR connectors, eliminating the need for additional patch cables and reducing connection points that degrade signal integrity. Transmission occurs over shielded Cat5e, Cat6, or Cat7 cable (STP/FTP specification), with copper conductors carrying balanced audio or AES3 signals transparently across extended distances. The locking RJ45 chassis is compatible with both Ethercon and Hosa EtherLok systems.

Applications range from consolidating drum kit channels into a single stage box run to routing vocal booth signals through existing building infrastructure without pulling dedicated audio lines. Corporate boardrooms benefit from discrete microphone routing through a single network drop, while mobile recording rigs replace heavy snakes with field-replaceable Cat cable for rapid deployment. The DFX-345F enables technicians to repurpose installed shielded network cabling for permanent audio distribution in schools, churches, and broadcast facilities.
