PD-Connex CX07-10 - Hybrid DMX and Power Cable with TR Powerconnector, 10 meters
The PD-Connex CX07-10 is a professional combo cable that integrates power and DMX signal into a single, robust 10-meter cable. Designed to optimize and simplify the assembly of complex lighting systems, this cable eliminates the need for two separate lines, reducing clutter, installation time, and potential points of failure. It is the ultimate solution for lighting technicians, audiovisual rental companies, and installers seeking an efficient, clean, and reliable connection for equipment such as moving heads, LED spotlights, color bars, and other professional lighting effects.
Equipped with high-quality connectors, the CX07-10 features a TR input power connector and a 3-pin male XLR connector on one end, and a TR output power connector and a 3-pin female XLR connector on the other. This configuration is ideal for daisy-chaining, allowing you to power and control multiple devices sequentially with a single cable run. Its heavy-duty construction, with a 3 x 1.5 mm² power cable, ensures safe current delivery of up to 16A, while the shielded signal cable with a 120-ohm impedance guarantees interference-free DMX512 data transmission.
In addition to its functionality, the CX07-10 stands out for its durability. With an IP65 protection rating, this cable is fully protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets, making it ideal not only for indoor use but also for outdoor events, festivals, and tours where conditions can be unpredictable.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Powerconnector TR connector?
It is a type of power connector with a locking system, designed to ensure a secure electrical connection that cannot be accidentally disconnected. It is commonly used in professional audio and lighting equipment.
What does the IP65 protection rating mean?
The IP65 rating indicates that the cable and its connectors are completely protected against dust ingress (the number '6') and can withstand low-pressure water jets from any direction (the number '5'). This makes it suitable for outdoor or humid environments.
Is an impedance of 120 ohms suitable for DMX?
Yes, 120 ohms is the characteristic impedance specified for the DMX512 protocol, which ensures a stable digital signal transmission free from reflections or interference that could cause erratic behavior in the lights.
Can I connect this cable to equipment with standard PowerCON connectors?
Powerconnector TR connectors are designed with a specific shape. You must verify compatibility with your equipment's connector, as, although functionally similar, they are not always mechanically compatible with all PowerCON variants without an adapter.
