[QUOTE="Karl Barnes, post: 79904, member: 2121"] Re: IQ speakers James, you don't need Ethercons to connect the various AES50 and Ultranet components of the X32 system. Everything will connect with just RJ45. The Ethercon provides a more robust aspect to the locking connection, but it's still RJ45 where the cable connects. The Ethercon is just a metal cover for the RJ45 (OK, so the locking arm on the RJ45 has to be removed to use Ethercon, but it's the same physical connector). Van Damme do versions of their Tourcat cable with and without Ethercons. I even think that Canford do Tourcat with Ethercon at one end and normal RJ45 at the other. It's not the end of the world. Even the Neutrik Cat5 extenders allow either plain RJ45 or Ethercon. With my X32 system I use Cat5 snakes with Ethercon at both ends and RJ45 Cat5 for my Ultranet runs.
