Wanted info of "Snakeless"-multicore

Archived from groups: alt.audio.pro.live-sound,rec.audio.pro (More info?)

Hello from Finland

I have a 24/8 multicore, which has active box in each end and only
5-wire-cable in between. Connectors are 6-pin.
It has "Snakeless" written on it and a logo with a rattlesnake coiled in a
red circle with diagonal ( like a "no parking allowed"-sign )
There are no other markings of origin - no manufacturer - no country -
nothing.

If anyone has any idea of who has made this - please let me know - since one
channel does not work and it would be too troublesome to draw the part
layout and figure out the circuitry.

I assume it has a balanced line each way carrying multiplexed signal.

It is a very interesting piece, since it allows you to put it through small
holes - just one XLR

Thanks
