-
Versatile Length: Its 5 meters in length offer an excellent balance between reach and maneuverability, ideal for small and medium-sized scenarios.
Benefits for the Professional
Using PD-Connex CX06-5 cable translates directly into greater efficiency and a more professional look. By halving the number of cables required, the assembly and dismantling of any lighting system becomes significantly faster. This not only saves valuable time but also minimizes the risk of tripping hazards and accidental disconnections. The result is a safer, cleaner, and easier-to-manage installation, projecting an image of order and professionalism to clients and the public.
Use Cases
This combo cable is the preferred choice for a wide variety of applications, from lighting setups for a band in a small venue to larger-scale event productions. It's especially useful for connecting lighting trusses, light bridges, or any setup where multiple fixtures are close together. Its design makes it perfect for mobile DJs, theaters, churches, audiovisual rental companies, and any professional who needs a reliable and efficient cabling solution for their lighting effects.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this cable to connect equipment from different brands?
Yes, as long as the equipment uses standard Powerconnector (or compatible) connectors for power and 3-pin XLR for the DMX signal.
What does it mean that the cable has an impedance of 120 ohms?
The 120-ohm impedance is the standard specification for DMX512 cables. It ensures that the digital signal is transmitted correctly along the cable without degradation or reflections that could cause errors in lighting control.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
Although the cable is robust, it is not specifically rated for prolonged exposure to the elements. It is recommended for indoor use or for use outdoors in covered areas protected from rain and direct moisture.
