Cordial ELCCPH3-DMX1-PWR1-T1 - 3m Powercon True1 Hybrid DMX and Power Cable
The Cordial ELCCPH3-DMX1-PWR1-T1 is a professional, highly reliable solution for connecting lighting and effects equipment in live performance environments, studios, or permanent installations. This 3-meter hybrid cable combines both the DMX signal line for lighting control and the power supply into a single robust cable, significantly simplifying setup and reducing cable clutter. Its intelligent design and high-quality components ensure clean signal transmission and a safe, stable power supply.
Equipped with top-quality connectors, this cable features a 3-pin male XLR connector with a Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 power input on one end, and a 3-pin female XLR connector with a Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 power output on the other. The powerCON TRUE1 technology is particularly noteworthy, as it allows for the safe connection and disconnection of equipment even under electrical load (up to 250 V / 16 A), an essential feature for the dynamic workflow of live events.
Main features
-
2-in-1 Solution: Combines a DMX signal line and a power cable in a single cover, optimizing wiring and organization in any setup.
-
High-End Connectors: Uses genuine Neutrik connectors, including 3-pin XLR (male and female) and powerCON TRUE1 (input and output), to ensure secure and long-lasting connections.
-
Reliable DMX transmission: The signal cable complies with the AES/EBU standard, with a characteristic impedance of 110 ohms and double shielding (aluminum foil and tinned copper braid) for maximum protection against electromagnetic interference.
-
Safe Power Supply: The power section has three 1.5 mm² conductors, capable of handling currents up to 16 A. The powerCON TRUE1 connectors offer hot-plug capability (CBC), providing safety and flexibility.
-
Robust Construction: The base cable is a Cordial CDP1, designed to withstand the demands of professional use, with a tough PVC outer jacket and a substantial diameter that protects the internal conductors.
Product benefits
Using the Cordial ELCCPH3-DMX1-PWR1-T1 hybrid cable results in greater efficiency and professionalism. By halving the number of cables required to connect a lighting fixture, technicians save valuable time during setup and teardown. This not only streamlines workflow but also creates a safer and tidier environment with fewer cables that could cause tripping hazards. The quality of Cordial materials and Neutrik connectors ensures a long lifespan and consistent performance, preventing signal or power failures at critical times.
Use cases
This cable is the ideal choice for a wide range of professional applications. It's perfect for connecting moving heads, LED spotlights, smoke machines, and other special effects devices on tours, at concerts, in theaters, on television sets, and at corporate events. Its ability to daisy chain power and signal makes it especially useful for quickly and efficiently setting up lighting bars or equipment arrays. It's also an excellent solution for permanent installations in nightclubs, concert halls, and convention centers seeking a clean and reliable cabling infrastructure.
Frequently Asked Questions
What advantage do powerCON TRUE1 connectors offer over other power connectors?
Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 connectors are designed to be safely connected and disconnected while under electrical load (hot-swapping), unlike older blue and gray powerCON connectors. This provides greater flexibility and safety during live events.
Can I use this cable outdoors?
While the construction is robust, the standard PVC jacket offers only moderate protection. For intensive and prolonged outdoor use, it is recommended to check if the environmental conditions (heavy rain, extreme sun exposure) require cables with higher specifications, such as rubber jackets (H07RN-F).
Is the DMX signal affected by the proximity of the power cable?
No. The cable is specifically designed to prevent this problem. The DMX line features its own high-quality shielding (aluminum foil and braided copper mesh) that effectively isolates it from any electromagnetic interference that might be generated by the adjacent AC power line, ensuring a clean, error-free signal.
Project description
Professional 3-meter hybrid cable integrating a power line and a DMX signal line into a single cable. The power section consists of three 1.5 mm² conductors and is terminated with Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 connectors (NAC3FX-W and NAC3MX-W) with load break capability. The signal section is a 110-ohm DMX cable with two 0.22 mm² conductors, double shielding, and 3-pin Neutrik XLR connectors (male and female). The cable's outer diameter is approximately 15.1 mm.
