PD-Connex CX07-15 - Hybrid DMX and Power Cable Powerconnector TR 15m

PD-Connex CX07-15 - Hybrid DMX and Power Cable Powerconnector TR 15m

The PD-Connex CX07-15 is a professional and definitive solution for simplifying the assembly of complex lighting systems. This 15-meter combination cable integrates both power and DMX signal into a single cable, eliminating the need for two separate cables. Its design is intended to optimize and expedite daisy-chaining of equipment such as moving heads, LED spotlights, bars, and other lighting effects, resulting in a cleaner, faster, and safer installation.

Built to withstand the demands of professional use on tours, at events, and in permanent installations, the CX07-15 features highly reliable connectors. It incorporates Powerconnector TR power connectors (Type A input and Type B output) and 3-pin XLR signal connectors (male and female). All connectors are IP65 rated, guaranteeing complete dustproofing and water jet resistance, making it perfect for use at festivals and outdoor events without worrying about the weather.

• Robust Power Cable: The power section has 3x 1.5mm² conductors, capable of supporting a maximum current of 16A, ideal for powering high consumption equipment.
• Reliable DMX Transmission: The signal cable has an impedance of 120 ohms, complying with the DMX512 standard for stable and interference-free data transmission.
• Versatile Length: Its 15 meters in length provide ample reach to connect equipment in large stages and complex structures without the need for additional extensions.
• Durable Construction: With an outer diameter of 10.8 mm, the cable is designed to withstand the wear and tear of heavy use on tours and rentals.

Benefits for the Professional

Using the PD-Connex CX07-15 combo cable results in greater efficiency and a more professional look for every installation. By halving the amount of cabling required, assembly and disassembly processes are significantly streamlined, saving valuable time and effort. This not only creates a more organized and safer workspace but also projects a cleaner, more professional image. The robust construction and IP65 protection of its connectors ensure flawless performance even under the harshest conditions, providing peace of mind with a secure and reliable connection at all times.

Use Cases

This hybrid cable is an indispensable tool for audiovisual equipment rental companies, lighting technicians, theaters, concert halls, and mobile DJs. It is especially effective in large-scale setups such as festivals, music tours, and corporate events, where speed and reliability are critical. It is also an excellent solution for permanent installations in nightclubs, television studios, or convention centers seeking tidy, durable cabling with minimal visual impact.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the IP65 rating mean?

The IP65 rating indicates that the connectors are completely protected against dust ingress (the number '6') and are resistant to low-pressure water jets from any direction (the number '5'). This makes them safe for use at outdoor events in the rain or in dusty environments.

Can I use this cable to connect any moving head or LED spotlight?

Yes, this cable is compatible with the vast majority of professional lighting equipment that uses Powerconnector connectors for power and 3-pin XLR connectors for the DMX signal.

Is the cable compatible with the DMX512 standard?

Absolutely. The signal cable is designed with an impedance of 120 ohms, which meets the specifications of the DMX512 standard to ensure correct and error-free data communication.

What is the difference between the Type A and Type B Powerconnector?

These connectors are designed to be non-interchangeable for safety. Type A (usually blue) is used for power input (Power IN), while Type B (usually gray) is used for power output (Power OUT) to supply power to the next device in the chain.

Can a length of 15 meters affect the DMX signal?

No. The DMX512 protocol allows cable runs of up to several hundred meters without significant signal degradation. A length of 15 meters is well below that limit and will not cause any transmission problems if used correctly.
