Cordial ELCCFCA15S-TRUE1-PVC - Professional PowerCON TRUE1 to Schuko Power Cable, 1.5 m
The Cordial ELCCFCA15S-TRUE1-PVC is a high-performance power cable, specifically designed to meet the demanding requirements of professional environments such as live events, audiovisual productions, tours, and stage setups. Measuring 1.5 meters in length, this cable combines Cordial's renowned robustness and reliability with the industry's safest and most recognized power connectors, ensuring a stable and protected electrical connection for your most critical equipment.
At one end, it features an original Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 (NAC3FX-W) connector, the industry standard for powering professional equipment. This connector not only offers a twist-lock system that prevents accidental disconnections due to pulling or vibration, but also has circuit breaking capacity (CBC). This means it can be safely connected or disconnected even while the equipment is operating (under load), an essential feature for speed and safety during any setup. At the other end, it has a straight and robust Schuko (CEE 7/7) connector, ensuring full compatibility with standard power outlets across much of Europe.
The cable used is type H05VV-F , with a conductor cross-section of 3 x 1.5 mm² , ideal for handling currents up to 16 A without significant voltage drops. Its flexible yet durable PVC outer sheath provides excellent resistance to heavy use, abrasion, and constant folding, maintaining its operational integrity over time.

- Connection of video screens, projectors and other audiovisual equipment at trade fairs and corporate events.
- General use in rental companies, theaters, television studios and any professional stage facility.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I connect or disconnect this cable with the device turned on?
Yes. The Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 connector is designed with "breaking capacity," allowing for safe handling under electrical load (up to 16 A / 250 V). This is one of its main advantages over conventional power connectors.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
The powerCON TRUE1 connector, when paired with its counterpart, offers IP65-rated protection, making it resistant to dust and water jets. However, the PVC-sheathed cable (H05VV-F) is primarily recommended for temporary indoor or outdoor use under controlled conditions, as it is not designed for permanent exposure to the elements or direct sunlight.
What is the difference between the powerCON TRUE1 connector (black and yellow) and the previous powerCON (blue and gray)?
The key difference is safety. The powerCON TRUE1 is a true power connector that can be connected and disconnected under load. The blue (input) and gray (output) powerCON system lacks this capability and should never be handled while the equipment is powered on. Furthermore, their connectors are not compatible with each other to prevent errors.
