The EtherCON is a ruggedized and lockable connector for Ethernet over twisted pair wiring.
It is manufactured by Neutrik and is designed for professional audio and stage lighting network applications.
[1] The design is modeled after the XLR connector with a circular hard metal shell and a locking latch.

EtherCON connectors are also used to transfer data across large LED displays in both indoor and outdoor settings.
