I've all the Funk Logic stuff from days gone past. I have red and black one panel, the two panel black and 3 panel blue ones. They are very cool. I'll never part with them - though I did give a friend one of the red blank panels.
Along with my - also discontinued - Talent Boost on the pedalboard... I am again in the esteemed 'unobtainable' gear club.
Thanks...I also fond this one View attachment 17458,
And I guess I also need a short E-cable
Have req a company ELFA here in Noreay..
I wouldn't sweat the Cat 5 vs. Cat 6 thing. They're wired the same, and they have the same physical dimensions. Cat 6 is just a higher-performing cable/connector. You might care about that if you're running Gigabit Ethernet, but for the MFC, either (or both) will do fine.Be careful with what jack you go with. If you go with the one you have pictured here, that's a CAT6 EtherCON and requires a CAT6 plug on the end your plugging into it.
Took a new pic today
Thats a realy Nice Setup with two beautyful Guitars !
Congrats Man !

I do not believe you are 100% correct...
Per Fred from Neutrik in Charlotte, the CAT6 EtherCON jacks are NOT compatible with their CAT5 EtherCON plugs (what they call cable carriers) that Best-Tronics uses on their FAS11 EtherCON cable. The jacks and plugs have to be in the same series to work, per Neutrik directly.
I haven't specifically tried mixing to see if it actually works or not as I don't want to spend $100 on parts for the test. Based on uses in the computer world, you'd think it would work. I'm just going off what Neutrik had told me.
Neutrik will send you a sample pair to try if you ask. I've asked for engineering samples from companies in the past to try things out.
That would be a good way forward to find out if this really works or not.
If you want to maintain Cat6 performance (which is major overkill for what we're talking about), then you need to keep everything Cat6. If you just need to have it work, you should be able to mix the two flavors at will.I do not believe you are 100% correct...

The Cat5 and Cat6 specs address both cabling and connectors, and both are written to use RJ-45 connectors. Any Cat3, 5, 5e or 6 connector will fit any other "category" connector, provided the gender is correct.I don't think the CAT5 vs CAT6 specifications address connectors, per se. It's more of a cabling spec. CAT6 cable allows faster transmission speeds due to improved shielding/geometry. There are better connectors you can use than the typical RJ45, but they're not a defining characteristic. It's a choice.
MIDI over Cat5 isn't restricted to the usual MIDI speed, but you're right: The Axe-FX and MFC won't challenge the capabilities of Cat(anything).In any event, we're talking about MIDI here, which is a pitifully slow comm spec relative to modern computer hardware. While it doesn't have to be, it's often down in the RS-232 range, where they can't even spell megahertz, let alone gigahetz. So, there's nothing to be gained by using high-end cable/comm spec'd parts. Of course, it doesn't hurt to use high-end parts, but it doesn't improve anything, either.
I've seen cavity shielding significantly reduce the amount of interference a guitar picks up. It was well worth it, IMO....it's a waste of time/money/effort, kinda like shielding pickup/control cavities on guitars.
