Cordial ELCCFCA5S-TRUE1-PVC - 5m PowerCON TRUE1 to Schuko Power Cable
The Cordial ELCCFCA5S-TRUE1-PVC is a 5-meter professional power cable designed to meet the highest demands of event environments, audiovisual productions, and stage performances. This highly reliable cable ensures a safe and stable electrical connection for lighting, sound, and video equipment, combining the robustness of top-quality components with a functional and secure design.
Manufactured in Germany, this cable features a 3 x 1.5 mm² conductor and uses H05VV-F type cable, known for its flexibility and durability in mobile applications. The PVC outer jacket provides effective protection for indoor use, maintaining cable integrity even with frequent handling.
One of its key components is the Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 (NAC3FX-W-TOP) female connector, the industry standard for lockable network connections. This connector not only prevents accidental disconnections thanks to its twist-lock system, but also features Breaking Capacity (CBC), allowing for safe connection or disconnection under electrical load. Its IP65 rating ensures complete protection against dust and water jets, making it suitable for demanding applications. The other end is equipped with a standard CEE 7/7 Schuko connector, guaranteeing compatibility with conventional power outlets across much of Europe.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What does it mean that the powerCON TRUE1 connector has "Breaking Capacity" (CBC)?
This means that the connector is designed to be safely plugged in or unplugged while the equipment is in operation (under electrical load), without risk of electrical arcing or damage to the equipment or the connector.
Is the cable suitable for outdoor use?
The Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 connector is IP65 rated, protecting it from dust and water. However, the H05VV-F cable with PVC jacket is primarily recommended for indoor or dry, covered outdoor use. For continuous exposure to the elements, a cable with a rubber (neoprene) jacket is recommended.
Can I connect any device with this cable?
This cable is designed for professional equipment that uses a powerCON TRUE1 input. It is important to verify that the equipment's power consumption does not exceed the cable and connectors' capacity, which is 16 Amps at 250 Volts.
