Sorry if I missed something...but is it a little odd that the MFC (designed to pair to AXE) has different connection ports? Does a reg Cat 5 not plug into the newer MFC MkII? thx
I use one of these on my pedalboard and then have a different Cat5/ethercon passthru on my rack's patch panel.This is what I use:
Neutrik NE8FF Feed-Through Ethercon Coupler | Full Compass
I use an ethercon cable to go from the MFC to the adapter box, and then a 1 foot regular ethernet cable to connect to the AXE-FX.

Somewhat surprisingly, guitar-cable.com does not have an option for regular RJ45 on one end and Ethercon on the other. But they do make both types, and I'd imagine they'd have no problem making such a cable. Especially since they've partnered with Fractal to make cables specifically designed for Fractal's needs (like the unique humbuster wiring). They probably just don't know that the MFC (but not the Axe) has been switched to Ethercon and that there's a need for this cable yet. Or if they do, their site isn't updated.

Just email them. They can make whatever cable/patchpanel you need.
I think you will find the Axe will also have an Ethercon on it one day soon.
PS Cliff, while you're re-tooling the rear panel, you may as well put a USB port for loading from a memory stick

Trying to connect my MFC 101 to my AXE Effects II with a CAT5 cable. I grabbed a CAT5 from my pile of router cables and the connectors are too small on both ends. Are there bigger connectors for CAT5 cables?
Then you got a phonecable not a cat5
Best-Tronics are about to add a bunch of Ethercon/Cat5 Adapters and Cables.
My recommendation will be their Ethernet Male to Ethercon Female "Pigtail".

Is there an advantage to running the Cat5 vs MIDI cables?
