Cordial ECLCDP1-100 - 100m Hybrid DMX and Power Cable Reel
The Cordial ECLCDP1-100 hybrid cable reel is the ultimate professional solution for event technicians, audiovisual rental companies, and installers seeking efficiency, reliability, and robustness in a single product. This 100-meter cable combines a power line and a balanced DMX data line into a single hose, eliminating the need for two separate cables and significantly reducing setup time and clutter on stages, tours, and at both indoor and outdoor events.
Designed in Germany to the highest quality standards, the ECLCDP1-100 is built to withstand the demands of intensive professional use. Its intelligent design ensures stable, interference-free DMX/AES/EBU data transmission, even when the power line carries a significant electrical load. This is achieved through superior shielding that protects the integrity of the digital lighting or audio control signal.
Main Features
-
2-in-1 Hybrid Design: Integrates a 3-conductor power cable and a 110-ohm DMX data cable into a single rugged housing, simplifying installation and cable management.
-
Professional Signal Quality: The data line complies with AES/EBU and DMX standards, with a characteristic impedance of 110 ohms that ensures accurate and error-free signal transmission, essential for the control of lighting and audio equipment.
-
Double Superior Shielding: The DMX section is protected by an aluminum/PET sheet and a dense braided tinned copper mesh (85% coverage), offering exceptional shielding against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) generated by the power cable itself or external sources.
-
Rugged Outdoor Construction: The integrated power cord is type H07RN-F, a heavy-duty specification designed for outdoor use. The overall PVC jacket is flexible yet extremely durable, resisting abrasion, moisture, and heavy use.
-
High-Quality Conductors: The power supply section features three 1.50 mm² bare copper conductors, capable of safely and efficiently handling high current loads. The data line uses 0.22 mm² tinned copper conductors for optimal conductivity and corrosion resistance.
Benefits for the Professional
Using the Cordial ECLCDP1-100 directly optimizes your workflow. By halving the amount of cabling required, setups are faster, cleaner, and safer. The risk of tripping hazards is minimized, and troubleshooting is simplified. Its durability ensures a long-term investment, withstanding the harshest conditions of touring and outdoor events without compromising performance. Reliable DMX signal transmission provides peace of mind, knowing that lighting shows and digital audio systems will operate without unexpected failures.
Use Cases
This hybrid cable is the perfect tool for a wide range of professional applications. It's ideal for connecting DMX lighting equipment such as moving heads, LED PAR lights, strobes, and smoke machines that require both power and a control signal. It's also excellent for wiring active speaker systems that receive an AES/EBU digital audio signal and need power. Its 100-meter reel format allows you to create custom patch cables for stages, television studios, theaters, film sets, and any fixed or mobile installation that demands neat, high-performance cabling.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this cable at outdoor events?
Yes, absolutely. The H07RN-F power cable section and PVC outer jacket are specifically designed to withstand outdoor use conditions, including moisture and abrasion.
Can the power line interfere with the DMX signal?
No. The cable is designed with a highly effective shielding system. The combination of an aluminum foil and a braided copper mesh isolates the data line from any electromagnetic field generated by the power cable, ensuring a clean and stable DMX signal.
What type of connectors should I use for this cable?
For the DMX line, 3-pin or 5-pin XLR connectors are used. For the power line, power connectors suitable for the load and environment must be used, such as PowerCON or Schuko connectors, depending on the regulations and the specific application.
Is it a flexible cable?
Yes, despite its robustness and 18 mm diameter, the cable is designed to be flexible and manageable, facilitating its laying and retrieval in event environments.
Project description
100-meter reel of professional hybrid cable combining a power line and a DMX data line. The power section consists of three 1.50 mm² conductors (H07RN-F). The data section is a 0.22 mm² twisted pair with a characteristic impedance of 110 ohms (AES/EBU, DMX). The data line shielding consists of an aluminum/PET foil and a tinned copper braid. The outer jacket is made of PVC, with a total diameter of 18 mm.
