Cordial ELCCPH10-DMX1-5-PWR1 - 10-meter 5-pin DMX and PowerCON Hybrid Cable
The Cordial ELCCPH10-DMX1-5-PWR1 is a professional, high-efficiency cabling solution designed to simplify complex lighting installations for stages, events, and audiovisual productions. This 10-meter hybrid cable combines a mains power line and a 5-pin DMX signal line into a single robust cable, eliminating the need for two separate cables. Its smart design allows for daisy-chaining of lighting equipment, such as moving heads or LED spotlights, drastically optimizing setup time and keeping the workspace tidy and safe.
Built with the highest quality components, this cable guarantees reliable, interference-free signal transmission and power delivery. It utilizes the renowned Cordial CDP 1 bulk cable with a durable PVC outer jacket. The power section features a 3 x 1.50 mm² conductor cross-section and a robust H07RN-F rubber coating, ideal even for outdoor applications. For data transmission, the DMX cable is designed to meet the AES/EBU standard, with a characteristic impedance of 110 ohms, ensuring stable, error-free digital communication over long distances. The double shielding, consisting of an aluminum/PET foil and a tinned copper braid, effectively protects the signal against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI).

Benefits for lighting and event professionals
This hybrid cable from Cordial is designed for lighting technicians, audiovisual equipment rental companies, and event professionals looking to optimize their workflow. By halving the number of cables to manage per light fixture, it speeds up setup and teardown, minimizes potential points of failure, and achieves a much cleaner and more professional appearance in any installation. The reliability of Cordial and NEUTRIK® components ensures consistent performance, event after event, protecting your lighting equipment investment.
Use cases
The Cordial ELCCPH10-DMX1-5-PWR1 is the perfect tool for a wide variety of applications, including concert tours, theatrical productions, corporate events, television studios, and permanent installations in concert halls or nightclubs. It is especially useful for mounting lighting trusses where space is limited and multiple moving heads, LED bars, strobes, or any other device requiring DMX power and control need to be connected in series.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this cable outdoors?
Yes, the power cable section uses an H07RN-F type rubber coating, which is robust and designed to withstand outdoor use conditions.
Are 5-pin XLR connectors compatible with 3-pin DMX systems?
Although the connectors are 5-pin, this cable uses a 3-pin allocation for the DMX signal, which is the most common standard. Therefore, it is compatible with most DMX equipment. The two extra pins are unused, but the 5-pin connector is the professional standard to avoid confusion with XLR audio cables.
What does it mean that PowerCON connectors should not be connected under load?
For safety, standard PowerCON connectors are not designed to be plugged in or unplugged while the equipment is powered on (under load). Always disconnect the main power supply before making or disconnecting these connections to prevent electrical arcing and damage to the connectors and equipment.
What is 110 ohms impedance and why is it important?
The 110-ohm impedance is the technical specification required by the AES/EBU digital transmission standard, on which the DMX protocol is based. Using a cable with this correct impedance ensures that the digital signal is not degraded or affected by reflections, guaranteeing error-free communication between the control console and the lights.
