PD-Connex CX06-15 - Hybrid Powerconnector and DMX Signal Cable 15m
The PD-Connex CX06-15 is a professional 15-meter combination cable designed to simplify and optimize even the most demanding lighting installations. This all-in-one solution integrates both the power cable and the DMX signal cable into a single, robust cable, eliminating the need for two separate cables. The result is a faster, cleaner, and more organized setup, ideal for live events, tours, television studios, or permanent installations where efficiency and reliability are crucial.
Designed specifically for daisy-chaining professional lighting equipment such as moving heads, LED PAR lights and other effects, this cable ensures stable data transmission and safe power supply throughout the line.
Main Features
-
2-in-1 Hybrid Design: Combines a 3-conductor power cable and a balanced DMX signal cable into a single sheath, significantly reducing cable clutter.
-
Professional Connectors: Equipped on one end with a 3-pin female XLR connector and a Powerconnector A (blue, power input) and, on the other, with a 3-pin male XLR connector and a Powerconnector B (gray, power output). This configuration is the industry standard for safely interconnecting equipment.
-
High Current Capacity: The power cable has a cross-section of 3 x 1.5 mm², allowing it to safely handle a current of up to 16 amps. This ensures stable performance even with high-consumption equipment.
-
Reliable Signal Transmission: The DMX cable is properly shielded and has an impedance of 120 ohms, complying with the DMX512 standard to ensure data transmission without interference or signal loss, essential for precise lighting control.
-
Versatile Length: Its 15 meters in length provide great flexibility to cover considerable distances on stages, trusses or any type of setup.
Benefits for the Professional
Using the PD-Connex CX06-15 cable offers direct advantages for technicians and event companies. The reduction in setup and teardown time is significant, as is the ease of maintaining a tidy and safe work environment, minimizing the risk of tripping hazards. The robustness of its components ensures a long lifespan, even with the intensive use typical of the entertainment industry.
Use Cases
This cable is the perfect tool for connecting multiple lighting devices in series in a wide variety of applications, including:
- Installation of lighting equipment on truss structures for concerts and festivals.
- Architectural or ambient lighting installations in event halls.
- Theatre and television productions that require discreet and efficient cabling.
- Equipment for mobile DJs and rental companies that need to set up and take down their equipment frequently.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cable compatible with any lighting equipment?
It is compatible with the vast majority of professional lighting equipment that uses 3-pin DMX connectors for control and Powerconnector A (input) and B (output) connectors for power supply.
What is a "daisy chain"?
It's a wiring method where multiple devices are connected sequentially. With this cable, the power and DMX output of one light is connected to the input of the next, allowing an entire line of fixtures to be powered and controlled from a single point of origin.
Why is an impedance of 120 ohms important?
This is the standard characteristic impedance for the DMX512 communication protocol. Using a cable with this specification is crucial to avoid signal reflection and ensure reliable, error-free data communication between the controller and the luminaires.
Project description
This 15-meter hybrid cable integrates a power cable and a DMX signal cable into a single 10.8 mm outer diameter cable. The power segment is a 3x1.5 mm² cable with a maximum capacity of 16A, terminated with Powerconnector A (input) and Powerconnector B (output) connectors. The signal segment is a balanced, shielded cable with a characteristic impedance of 120 ohms, terminated with 3-pin XLR connectors (male and female).
