Cordial ELCCPH15-DMX15PWR125 - Professional Hybrid DMX and Power Cable
The Cordial ELCCPH15-DMX15PWR125 is a high-end hybrid cabling solution designed to simplify and professionalize installations in lighting, event, and stage environments. This 1.5-meter cable combines a high-capacity power line and a 5-pin DMX signal line into a single, robust cable, eliminating the need for multiple cables and significantly reducing clutter and setup time. Manufactured in Germany using top-quality components, this cable guarantees reliable and safe signal and power transmission, even under the most demanding conditions.
The power supply section uses 2.5 mm² conductors and is terminated with Neutrik PowerCon TRUE1 connectors. These connectors are the industry standard for professional applications, offering not only a secure locking connection but also breaking capacity (CBC), allowing for safe connection and disconnection under load. Their IP65 rating ensures complete protection against dust and water, making them ideal for outdoor use and events where weather conditions may be a factor.
For data transmission, the cable incorporates a balanced DMX line compliant with the AES/EBU standard, with a characteristic impedance of 110 ohms. This ensures error-free and interference-free digital signal transmission, crucial for the precise control of complex lighting equipment. The 5-pin XLR connectors, also from Neutrik, provide a solid and durable connection, with excellent protection against electromagnetic interference thanks to their double shielding (aluminum foil and tinned copper braid).

Benefits for the Professional
This hybrid cable from Cordial is designed for lighting technicians, equipment rental companies, and event professionals seeking efficiency and reliability. By halving the number of cables required, it greatly speeds up the setup and teardown of any lighting configuration. This not only saves time and effort but also creates a cleaner, tidier, and safer work environment, minimizing the risk of tripping hazards. The quality of the Neutrik and Cordial components ensures flawless performance, reducing the chances of technical failures during a critical event.
Use Cases
The Cordial ELCCPH15-DMX15PWR125 is the ideal tool for interconnecting professional lighting equipment that requires both power and DMX signal. It is especially useful for creating daisy chains between moving heads, LED PAR lights, LED bars, strobes, and other effects devices. Its short length of 1.5 meters is perfect for bridging fixtures mounted on the same truss or light bar, keeping the installation clean and minimizing excess cable.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I connect and disconnect the power connector while the device is turned on?
Yes, the Neutrik PowerCon TRUE1 connector is designed with "breaking capacity", allowing for safe connection and disconnection under electrical load (up to 16A).
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. Thanks to the IP65-certified PowerCon TRUE1 connectors, the cable is protected against dust and water jets, making it perfectly suitable for outdoor events and festivals.
Why use a 5-pin XLR cable instead of a 3-pin one for DMX?
Although most equipment uses only 3 pins for the basic DMX signal, the original DMX512 standard specifies a 5-pin connector. The two additional pins are reserved for a second data line or other uses, providing greater versatility and compatibility with high-end equipment or more complex systems.
Does cable quality really affect the DMX signal?
Absolutely. A cable with the correct impedance (110 ohms) and good shielding, like this Cordial model, is crucial to prevent signal reflection and electromagnetic interference, ensuring that data reaches all equipment intact, especially in long chains.
Project description
Professional 1.5-meter hybrid cable. It combines a power line with 3 x 2.5 mm² conductors and a DMX digital signal line with 2 x 0.22 mm² conductors. The power line is terminated with Neutrik PowerCon TRUE1 connectors (NAC3FX-W and NAC3MX-W) rated at 16A/250V and IP65 protection. The DMX signal line complies with the AES/EBU standard with an impedance of 110 ohms, double shielding (aluminum foil and copper braid), and 5-pin Neutrik XLR connectors (male and female). The cable features a heavy-duty PVC outer jacket with a total diameter of approximately 15 mm.
