Whirlwind CatMaster 6-Channel EtherCON Network Breakout Panel

The Whirlwind CatMaster is built for audio and AV professionals who need a reliable, panel-mount solution for distributing Cat5 or Cat6 network connections in touring rigs, installed systems, or broadcast infrastructure. Where loose cable management creates downtime and troubleshooting headaches, the CatMaster provides a fixed reference point at the rack face for all Ethernet routing.

Six Neutrik EtherCON positions give integrators and touring engineers robust locking connectivity that holds up to the repeated connect-disconnect cycles of live production environments. Each tail is color-coded for fast identification across complex network topologies, and the retractable design means unused tails push back through the panel grommets to keep the rack face clean. Tails can also be dressed to the exact length required for a given installation, reducing cable clutter without cutting or re-terminating.

For system integrators deploying Dante, AVoIP, or control network infrastructure, the CatMaster offers a purpose-built breakout that outperforms field-terminated panels in consistency and speed. It is equally at home in a touring production rack or a permanent install where cable discipline and connector durability are non-negotiable.
