Neutrik NE8 FDP-B

I have my kemper mounted in a rack case which I use for touring etc. I have made a custom plate on the back for easy access to the connectors I use. Everything is clearly labelled so I just quickly plugin what I need.

This connector serves 2 purposes! 1) It stops any wear and tear on the main Ethernet connector on the back of the kemper. So if anything went wrong, I could just replace the Neutrik one, and I’m back in business without having to send my whole Kemper away! 2) It allows me to use Neutriks Ethercon Connectors on my pedal board cable. On the Kemper pedal board itself, it has an Ethercon connector, which stops the connector from being pulled out or damaged. So I wanted to do the same thing on my rack version. Which this has allowed me to do.

Fantastic product!

This is a very nice Cat-5 adaptor, but it's a bit expensive if you need to use more than a couple. Be careful, once installed, the rear PCB can be pulled off the external krone housing, severing the solder connections, dropping it to less than gigabit speed, or worse, causing it to fail altogether. Basically, it's a weaker connection on the internal side, were tight internal cabling can pull too much, if there is not much play. Includes self tapping screws (appears to be the only Neutrik connector that includes them).

There are good accessories for this, a external cap door cover, and colour plastic labels.
