nickb12345 Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 Hi Does anyone know where I can get a Cat 5 or 6 Snake type device. Ideally whan I want is a one thick cable that I can send max 20 Cat 5/6 feeds down, which could be terminated in a stage box type case with RJ45 sockets on! Does anyone know of a source of these? Many Thanks Nick Baker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orchytech Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 I'm not at my office but I thought that Van Damme Cables were advertising a multicore of CAT 5E cables in their new catalogue. At least that's where I thought that I saw it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomLyall Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 Does this have to be stage spec? RS certainly did (not sure now) an install grade cat5e multi... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickb12345 Posted November 3, 2004 Author Share Posted November 3, 2004 I would prefer it to be "patch" cable so it can be moved around but install grade would be fine I suppose! Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh lordy Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 Hi, Try a company called Direct Cables really nice guys and would probably make something for you if there is nothing off the shelf.

Tom Baldwin Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 Betterbox do three Cat5 multicables - 4, 6 and 8 way - here. I've not used this product myself, but if you give them a call, they'll be able to tell you more about it. For anyone who normally uses Black Box, I'd recommend Betterbox as, well, a better black box... their pricing is significantly cheaper, and they're nicer to deal with as well.

computer Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 we were looking into a solution a while ago to snake 4 cat cables a length of 10m together, and in the end decided it was cheaper to buy normal cat and then snake it ourselves. we ended up using this: http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/BHEF20CP.html and it worked really well (although it was a bit of a squish). we then used the glands to terminate into a normal surface mount double box with a 4 gang cat outlet on the front - worked a treat.
