MuxLab Stereo PC Audio Balun 500030 3.5mm Line Level Stereo TRS Audio Extender Cat5e/6 RJ45 Plug Cable

The MuxLab PC / Audio Balun (500030) allows an unbalanced line-level stereo audio signal to be transmitted via single Cat5e/6 cable in a point-to-point connection to distances of up to 5,000ft / 1.5km.

The product is designed for audio equipment requiring a 3.5mm line-level stereo input / output such as PC soundcards, laptops, MP3 players and media speakers where the mid-range audio frequency response is paramount.

Used in pairs, the PC Audio balun can also be used with the 500027 stereo audio balun to connect a 3.5mm interface to an RCA audio interface (or vice-versa).
