Main features
The PD-Connex CX26 adapter stands out for its functionality and intelligent design, intended for the professional environment.
-
Durable Construction: The casing is made entirely of aluminum, providing superior protection against shocks and heavy use, while efficiently dissipating heat.
-
Quick and Secure Locking System: Incorporates the twist-lock mechanism characteristic of NL4 connectors, which guarantees a firm and secure connection, preventing accidental disconnections due to pulling or vibrations.
-
Versatile Truss Mounting: One of its most outstanding features is the inclusion of an M10 threaded hole, which allows the coupler to be screwed directly onto a truss, clamp, or any other anchor point. This facilitates the creation of clean and organized installations.

Product benefits
Integrating the CX26 coupler into your professional sound system offers significant advantages. The main one is the flexibility it provides in cable management, allowing you to join two shorter cables to achieve the desired length without needing to purchase a new, longer cable. This not only saves money but also optimizes your cable inventory. The reliability of its connection ensures lossless and uninterrupted audio signal transmission, maintaining maximum sound quality. For installers, the M10 mounting option is a key differentiator, as it allows for secure attachment of the connection point to overhead structures, walls, or brackets.
Use cases
This adapter is a versatile tool for multiple applications in the professional audio world. It's perfect for sound rental companies that need to adapt their cable runs to different venues and stage configurations. In fixed installations such as theaters, auditoriums, concert halls, or houses of worship, the CX26 allows for the creation of neat and secure intermediate connection points. Musicians and DJs who travel frequently will appreciate its portability and ability to quickly solve cable length problems anywhere.
Frequently Asked Questions
