Elite Core CS-45 CONVERTA-SHELL cables feature the patent-pending CS-45 connector. The CS-45 allows for EtherCon style connections or RJ45 in a protective shell. Simply twist off the barrel of the CS-45 to reveal a fully protected RJ45 with push-button release in place. It's tour-grade and tough. Fully shielded with the drain wire solder to the RJ45 on both ends. Fully compatible with standard RJ45 jacks or with Neutrik EtherCon jacks.
