    Very cheap. Designed by AT&M (RJ45), cost was the key design motivation...

    I like M12 for the lack of catch (that always gets caught and snaps). M12 initially replaced RJ45 in industry to solve the wearing contact issue caused from constant vibration.

    We've been using this on tours for a while now, second the reccomendation!

    You can add these instead of ethercon for extra ruggerdiness if you want! :-

    Well, I did a show with it this weekend and it coiled up perfectly... No kinks, tangles or any of the other nastiness associated with Cat5....

    Probably the first thing I got taught when I started professional touring.. (Allthough.. try doing it with water hose for a Ion, now thats a challange most cant take up)

    Apparently people still coil cable from their hand to their elbow :P

    Not with my cables!!!

    Sounds like a cable drum is in order for that hose?

    It's a good plan, but I think it would add extra bulk that I don't need (What am I talking about, carting a Ar/Kr around in the car, complete with 3P 440vac to 3P 220vac transformer is kinda bulky already) generally I just pull the hoses out into a carpark or whatnot and expel any remaining water, then use the under over method.. it's always worked for me.

    But yeah, a drum or reel would save a hell of a lot of effort, they are kinda big hoses tho - think firehose (indoor one that is.. not fireman type!!)

    Cheers,
