Multi-Modular I/O System
EtherCon Connector
Pro64 Series products feature locking connectors for all network I/O. The Neutrik® EtherCon connector is a dual
RJ45-type connector that can receive a standard Cat-5e or Cat-6 cable or a cable fitted with the special locking
EtherCon connector.
When using a standard Cat-5e or Cat-6 cable, plug the cable into the center of the EtherCon jack; release the cable
by pressing on the small plastic tab built into the cable connector.
The EtherCon panel-mount jack
The locking EtherCon connector is similar to an XLR plug, the kind commonly used on microphone cables. Insert
an EtherCon-equipped cable into the jack until it clicks and locks in place. To remove the cable, press on the metal
release tab at the top of the panel-mounted EtherCon jack and pull the connector outward.

Neutrik also makes a Cat-6 EtherCon connector. It is a different size than their Cat-5 connector and will
not fit into the Cat-5 EtherCon jacks used on the F6.
