7Path – Ethernet Patch Cable Bridge
Cheat Sheet
Overview
- Purpose: Connects two Eurorack cases (or two points in a large system) using a single Ethernet cable instead of long patch cables.
- Type: Passive signal bridge—no power required.
- Form Factor: 4HP wide, 3U tall, 20mm deep.
How to Use
- Install both 7Path modules in your cases or at desired locations.
- Connect the two modules using a standard Ethernet cable (CAT5/6). Does not include cable by default.
- Supports up to 10 ft with unshielded, longer with shielded cables.
- Patch regular 3.5mm patch cables from your modules to any of the 7 jacks on the first 7Path.
- Retrieve the signals on corresponding numbered jacks on the other 7Path module (1:1 pin mapping).
Example: If you patch into jack #4 in case A, the corresponding jack #4 on case B outputs/receives the same signal.
Jack/Control Reference
| Jack |
Description |
Voltage Range |
| 1–7 (per module) |
Bi-directional buffered (no restriction: can be input or output) |
No stated voltage restrictions; supports any Eurorack signal type (typically ±12V, ±5V CV, gate, audio)* |
- No knobs, buttons, sliders, or toggle controls.
- Completely passive: No voltage/current manipulation; it simply connects signals directly.
* While specific voltage ranges are not stated in the manual, standard Eurorack ±12V and audio CV/Gate are supported.
Quick Reference
- Connection: Patch IN/OUT to jacks 1–7 on either module; corresponding jack on other module mirrors the connection.
- No power needed (passive).
- For longer cable runs, use shielded Ethernet.
- Modules are interchangeable—no “send/receive” side.
What's in the Box
- 2x 7Path modules
- 4x Mounting screws
- Ethernet cable not included
