PD-Connex CX15-3 - Professional 3-meter Powerconnector Extension Cable
The PD-Connex CX15-3 is a professional power extension cable, specifically designed to meet the demanding needs of live audio, video, and lighting environments. Measuring 3 meters in length, this cable provides a reliable and safe solution for interconnecting equipment and extending power between devices compatible with the Powerconnector system.
Its design features Type A (input) and Type B (output) connectors, allowing for daisy-chaining of multiple devices, such as active speakers, LED spotlights, or displays. This functionality is essential for creating a clean and organized power distribution, minimizing the number of long cables running from the main power source. Constructed with high-quality conductors and a flexible yet robust outer jacket, the CX15-3 is built to withstand heavy use on tours, at events, and in permanent installations.
Main Features
-
Powerconnector A/B Connectors: Equipped with a Type A (blue) input connector and a Type B (gray) output connector. This industry-standard color system prevents incorrect connections, and its twist-lock mechanism ensures a firm and secure connection, preventing accidental disconnections.
-
High Efficiency Conductors: The cable uses three copper conductors with a cross-section of 1.5 mm² each, ensuring stable and efficient current transmission, minimizing power loss even when powering high-consumption equipment.
-
Versatile Length: Its 3-meter length provides the ideal reach for connecting equipment on a stage, inside a rack, or on a truss structure, offering flexibility without creating an excess of messy cable.
-
Robust and Flexible Construction: The tough PVC outer cover, with a diameter of 8.5 mm, protects the internal conductors from physical wear, while maintaining the flexibility needed for easy handling and storage.
Benefits for the Professional
Using the PD-Connex CX15-3 results in faster, safer, and more professional setups. The ability to link power from one device to another dramatically simplifies cabling, reduces the risk of tripping hazards, and improves the overall aesthetics of the installation. Its reliability ensures that equipment receives a constant power supply, a critical factor during any live event. It is an indispensable tool for sound engineers, lighting technicians, DJs, and audiovisual rental companies seeking maximum efficiency and safety in their electrical connections.
Use Cases
This extension cable is the perfect solution for a wide variety of professional applications, including:
- Chain power supply of active speaker systems (line array, stage monitors).
- Interconnection of multiple moving heads, LED PAR spotlights and other spectacular lighting fixtures.
- Power distribution for equipment in a DJ booth or production studio.
- Fixed installations in theaters, concert halls, clubs and convention centers.
- Connection of audiovisual equipment in processing and amplification racks.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean that the connectors are Type A and Type B?
The Type A connector (usually blue) is designed for power input (power-in), while the Type B connector (usually gray) is for power output (power-out). This allows you to safely "bridge" the power supply from one device to the next.
Are these connectors compatible with the original Neutrik PowerCON connectors?
Yes, the connectors used in the PD-Connex CX15-3 are designed to be fully compatible with the standard Neutrik PowerCON system, ensuring seamless interconnection with most professional equipment on the market.
What is the maximum current this cable can handle?
Thanks to its 1.5 mm² conductors, the cable is designed to safely withstand currents of up to 16 Amps, suitable for most professional audio and lighting equipment.
Can I connect this cable directly to a wall socket?
No, this is an extension cable designed to connect one device to another. To start the chain from a standard wall outlet, you'll need an adapter cable with a standard plug (such as Schuko) on one end and a Type A Powerconnector on the other.
