PD-Connex CX06-10 - Hybrid Power and DMX Cable 10m
The PD-Connex CX06-10 is a high-quality combination cable designed to simplify and professionalize lighting installations. Measuring 10 meters in length, this hybrid cable integrates both power and DMX control signals into a single cable, eliminating the need for multiple cables and significantly reducing clutter. It's the ultimate solution for quick, clean, and reliable setups for stages, events, and audiovisual productions.
Built to withstand the demands of professional use, the CX06-10 features robust connectors on both ends. On one side, it has a 3-pin male XLR connector for the DMX signal and a Powerconnector B (power output, gray/white). On the opposite end, there is a 3-pin female XLR connector and a Powerconnector A (power input, blue). This configuration is ideal for daisy-chaining lighting equipment such as moving heads, LED PAR lights, color bars, and other DMX effects, allowing both power and control signals to be passed from one piece of equipment to the next with a single cable.

Product benefits
Using the PD-Connex CX06-10 cable results in superior efficiency and professionalism. By halving the number of cables required per piece of equipment, installations become noticeably cleaner, more organized, and safer. This not only improves the aesthetics of the setup but also minimizes the risk of tripping hazards and accidental disconnections. Reliability is guaranteed thanks to its high-quality components, which ensure a constant power supply and a stable DMX signal, preventing common problems such as flickering lights or loss of control during a show.
Use cases
This combination cable is the perfect tool for a wide variety of applications in the world of entertainment and events:
- Production of live events and musical tours.
- Lighting installations in theaters and auditoriums.
- Setups for mobile DJs and equipment rental companies.
- Fixed installations in nightclubs, concert halls and bars.
- Connecting lighting trusses with moving heads, spotlights and LED effects.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cable compatible with any DMX lighting equipment?
Yes, it is compatible with the vast majority of professional lighting equipment that uses 3-pin XLR connectors for DMX and Powerconnector-type connectors for power.
What is the difference between Powerconnector A and B?
Powerconnector A (usually blue) is used for power input, i.e., to connect the equipment to the power source. Powerconnector B (usually gray or white) is used for power output, allowing power to be passed to the next piece of equipment in a chain.
Can I use this cable for audio instead of DMX?
Although the XLR connectors are the same, it's not recommended. This cable is designed with a 120-ohm impedance, specifically for DMX digital signals. Microphone cables for audio typically have a different impedance, and using them could affect signal quality over long distances.
Can it support the load of multiple moving heads in series?
The 3x1.5mm² power cable supports up to 16A. You should calculate the total current draw (in Amps) of the equipment you wish to daisy-chain and ensure that you do not exceed this limit to guarantee safe operation.
