Cordial ELCCPH15-DMX1-PWR1 - 1.5m Hybrid DMX and Power Cable
The Cordial ELCCPH15-DMX1-PWR1 is a high-performance combo cable designed to simplify connections in professional stage environments, combining DMX signal and power into a single, robust cable. At 1.5 meters long, this hybrid cable is the perfect solution for connecting lighting equipment such as moving heads, LED spotlights, and other DMX devices, reducing cable clutter and significantly speeding up setup and teardown times.
Manufactured in Germany with premium components, this cable guarantees reliable signal transmission and safe power supply. It uses genuine Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 connectors, characterized by their secure locking mechanism and ability to be connected and disconnected under electrical load (up to 250 V / 16 A), a crucial feature for safety and flexibility at live events. The DMX signal section is equipped with 3-pin XLR connectors, ensuring stable, interference-free digital data transmission compliant with the AES/EBU 110-ohm standard.
Main features
-
2-in-1 Solution: Combines a power cable and a DMX signal cable into a single cover, optimizing organization and efficiency on stage.
-
High-end Neutrik connectors: Equipped with Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 connectors (NAC3FX-W and NAC3MX-W) for safe and reliable power, and 3-pin XLR connectors for DMX signal.
-
On-load connection capability: The powerCON TRUE1 connectors allow for safe connection and disconnection of the equipment while in operation, providing unmatched flexibility.
-
Robust construction: The power cable uses a 3 x 1.5 mm² section and an H07RN-F rubber coating, ideal for withstanding the demands of outdoor use and touring.
-
Stable DMX Transmission: The high-quality shielded 110 ohm balanced signal cable (AES/EBU) ensures error-free DMX data transmission, even over long distances.
-
Optimized length: Its 1.5 meters are ideal for short connections, such as the interconnection of equipment in lighting bars (daisy chain) or between a device and a nearby truss.
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 maximize efficiency and reliability. By halving the number of cables required per piece of equipment, it minimizes the risk of tangles and failures, resulting in a much cleaner and more professional look for any setup. The robust materials and high-quality Neutrik connectors ensure a long lifespan, even under the harshest conditions of touring and outdoor events.
Use cases
The Cordial ELCCPH15-DMX1-PWR1 is the perfect tool for a variety of applications. It is especially useful for daisy-chaining multiple moving heads, LED bars, or lighting effects on a truss or lighting bridge. Its 1.5-meter length makes it ideal for connecting nearby fixtures without leaving unsightly and potentially hazardous excess cable. It is also an excellent choice for permanent installations in theaters, concert halls, and television studios where neatness and cable safety are paramount.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a standard PowerCON connector and the PowerCON TRUE1 connector used by this cable?
The main difference is safety. PowerCON TRUE1 connectors are certified with "breaking capacity," meaning they can be safely connected or disconnected while the equipment is powered on and under electrical load. Standard PowerCON connectors (blue and gray) should not be handled while the equipment is running.
Can I use this cable outdoors?
Yes. The cable's power section uses an H07RN-F type rubber coating, which is very durable and designed for safe outdoor use, withstanding moisture and mechanical wear.
Why is a hybrid cable better than two separate cables?
A hybrid cable reduces assembly time, decreases visual clutter, minimizes the risk of tripping hazards, and reduces the number of potential points of failure in the wiring. It simplifies logistics and transportation by requiring fewer cables to be handled.
Project description
This professional 1.5-meter hybrid cable integrates a power line and a DMX signal line into a single cable. The power section features a 3 x 1.5 mm² conductor area and Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 connectors (NAC3FX-W/NAC3MX-W) with a load switching capacity of up to 250V/16A. The signal section is a balanced 3-pin DMX cable with a characteristic impedance of 110 ohms and high-density shielding. The overall outer jacket is made of durable PVC, and the power cable is type H07RN-F for outdoor use.
