CatCore D-Kit

The CatCore D-Kit is a practical DIY XLR over CAT kit, designed to make it easy to create custom audio looms, stage multi-systems and rack-mounted patch bays. It combines a CatCore / EtherCON-compatible socket with four XLR tails, ready for installation into a standard D-series 24mm panel cut-out. Thanks to its tool-free connection technology, assembly is quick and straightforward, making it ideal for expanding or upgrading existing equipment such as stage boxes, mixing consoles and patch panels.

Designed to carry four balanced XLR signal lines over a single CAT cable, the D-Kit is suitable for both analogue and digital audio, including AES/EBU, as well as DMX and other balanced signal applications. Its high-density design makes it possible to fit up to six four-channel connections into a single 19-inch rack unit, helping to maximise connectivity while keeping equipment racks neat and organised.

Each set is clearly labelled from 1 to 4, with optional colour coding using CatCore's easy-to-remember RGBW system: red, green, black and white. The pinout follows the AES72 / 3E standard, ensuring consistent wiring across compatible CatCore equipment.
