The Radial Catapult Rack TX CAT-5 Audio Snake is a professional rackmount analog audio transmitter designed to send up to eight channels of balanced audio over standard shielded Cat-5 or Cat-6 cable.
Built for touring rigs, broadcast systems, houses of worship, and large-scale stage setups, the Catapult Rack TX provides a powerful way to reduce bulky multi-channel analog snakes while maintaining the reliability and sound quality of a pure analog signal path. By leveraging common network cable infrastructure, the Rack TX simplifies complex stage wiring and makes long-distance audio runs cleaner and more efficient. As part of Radial’s Catapult modular analog snake system, the Rack TX converts balanced XLR inputs into a format that travels over shielded Cat-5 cable to compatible Catapult receivers. Each Cat-5 connection carries four channels of balanced analog audio, allowing the Rack TX to send a total of eight channels using two shielded Cat-5 cables. Unlike digital networking systems, the Catapult platform carries analog audio directly, meaning there is no latency, no digital conversion, and no configuration required. Designed for professional rack systems, the Catapult Rack TX features eight balanced XLR inputs along with rugged EtherCON connectors for secure Cat-5 connections. The passive design requires no external power, and Radial’s durable steel chassis ensures the unit can withstand the demands of touring and permanent installations. Whether used for stage-to-FOH signal routing, broadcast production, or complex audio installations, the Catapult Rack TX offers a streamlined and dependable solution for transmitting analog audio over Cat-5 infrastructure.
