Long Distance Cat6A Network Cable Built for Professional Production

The RapcoHorizon DURASHIELD-250NBNB-R is a 250-foot heavy-duty Cat6A double-shielded Ethernet cable designed for long-run audio, video, and data networking in demanding production environments. With rugged Neutrik etherCON connectors on both ends and a durable tactical jacket, this reel-mounted assembly offers dependable high-speed transmission for digital consoles, stage boxes, media networks, lighting control, and broadcast systems. This cable provides a reliable solution for long-distance connectivity where signal stability and physical durability are equally important.

Engineered for Audio-Over-Ethernet and High-Bandwidth Data Systems

This Cat6A tactical cable supports modern digital networking formats such as Dante, AES67, AVB, and other AV-over-IP workflows that require consistent gigabit-level performance. Its double-shielded construction maintains clean signal flow across extended distances, making it ideal for professional touring rigs, installed AV systems, broadcast operations, and events where uninterrupted network reliability is essential.

Tactical Grade Jacket Designed for Harsh Environments

The robust outer jacket protects the cable from abrasion, repeated coiling, foot traffic, and exposure to challenging on-site conditions. Whether used on stage, in outdoor installations, or inside large venues, the tactical jacket absorbs physical stress without compromising the integrity of the internal conductors. This makes the cable suitable for applications where traditional Ethernet cables would fail prematurely.

Reliable Neutrik EtherCON Connections

Fitted with Neutrik etherCON connectors on both ends, this assembly ensures secure locking terminations that withstand constant handling, movement, and strain during setup and teardown. EtherCON housings offer enhanced mechanical protection compared to standard RJ45 connectors, making the cable well-suited for portable production, live sound, theater, rentals, and event networking where a secure connection is critical.

Reel-Mounted Cable for Fast Deployment and Storage

The included reel provides a structured and efficient way to deploy the cable, eliminating tangling and significantly reducing preparation and teardown time. Technicians can unspool exactly the length needed, keep excess cable neatly stored, and protect the assembly during transport. This reel format is especially valuable for large stages, long cable runs, outdoor festivals, and multi-room installations.

Consistent Performance for High-Speed Data Transmission

With Cat6A-rated shielding and engineering, the DURASHIELD-250NBNB-R maintains strong data throughput throughout its entire 250-foot length. It is tested to meet performance parameters that support demanding applications such as networked audio, lighting control, IPTV, and video distribution systems. The cable’s shielding structure reduces electromagnetic interference, ensuring accurate and stable data flow in electrically noisy environments.
