Whirlwind MEDUSA Data Snake

The Data Snake is a Medusa Standard with two lines of Cat 6 bundled inside the multipair cable, which is how a stage box carries both the analogue mic sends and the network the digital equipment needs on a single run.

Everything else matches the Standard series: a heavy duty powder coated steel stage box with metal Whirlwind connectors and an integrated handle, Whirlwind by Belden NEC CM rated multipair with 24 AWG 7x32 twisted pairs, 100 percent foil shield and drain wire, heat shrunk fanouts, engraved connectors, genuine Kellems hanger and strain relief grip, Snakeskin on the fanouts and a Pig Bag for storage. Standard configurations are 6 or 12 XLR inputs with two Cat5e / Cat6a Ethercon lines; custom send and return combinations are available on request.
