Cordial ELCCPH10-DMX15PWR125 - 10m Hybrid DMX and Power Cable
The Cordial ELCCPH10-DMX15PWR125 is a professional, highly reliable solution for managing lighting and event systems. This 10-meter hybrid cable combines a mains power cable and a DMX signal line into a single cable, dramatically simplifying the setup and teardown of stage equipment. Designed to withstand the demands of professional use on tours, live events, and permanent installations, this cable reduces clutter and potential points of failure by unifying two of the most critical connections.
The power section features 3 x 2.5 mm² copper conductors, ensuring a stable and safe current delivery for high-consumption equipment. It is terminated with Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 connectors (NAC3FX-W and NAC3MX-W), renowned for their robustness and, crucially, their ability to be safely connected and disconnected under electrical load (up to 16A at 250V), a vital characteristic for operational flexibility in dynamic environments. The DMX signal line utilizes a balanced cable with an impedance of 110 ohms, ideal for interference-free AES/EBU and DMX512 data transmission, even over long distances. The connectors are the reliable 5-pin Neutrik XLR (XX series), the industry standard in professional lighting.

Benefits for lighting and event professionals
This Cordial hybrid cable is designed for lighting technicians, audiovisual rental companies, and event professionals seeking efficiency and reliability. By halving the number of cables required for each piece of equipment, it speeds up setup and teardown, improves organization, and creates a cleaner, safer stage. The reliability of Neutrik components and Cordial's build quality ensure that connections won't be a point of failure during a critical event.
Use cases
The ELCCPH10-DMX15PWR125 is the perfect solution for daisy-chaining multiple moving heads, LED bars, strobes, and other lighting fixtures that require both power and DMX control. Its 10-meter length makes it versatile for medium-sized stages, trusses, television studios, or architectural installations where simple and reliable cabling is paramount.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I connect and disconnect the power connector with the device turned on?
Yes, one of the main advantages of Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 connectors is that they are designed with breaking capacity (CBC), allowing them to be safely connected and disconnected under electrical loads of up to 16A.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, the power section uses H07RN-F rubber cable, which is robust and suitable for outdoor events. The connectors are high quality, but it is recommended to protect the connections from direct and prolonged exposure to the elements if they are not IP-rated versions.
Why does the XLR connector have 5 pins if DMX only uses 3?
The DMX512 standard allows the use of the 5 pins for a second data line or for specific functions, although most equipment uses only 3. Using a 5-pin cable ensures compatibility with all DMX devices and is the recommended specification for professional installation.
Project description
