Cordial ELCCPH5-DMX1-PWR1 - 5m Hybrid DMX and Power Cable
The Cordial ELCCPH5-DMX1-PWR1 is a professional, high-efficiency cabling solution designed to simplify complex lighting and event setups. This 5-meter hybrid cable combines a 3-pin DMX signal cable and a power cable with PowerCON connectors into a single cable, eliminating the need for two separate cables. Manufactured in Germany using top-quality components, including genuine Neutrik connectors, this cable ensures reliable signal transmission and safe power for your equipment, optimizing setup time and delivering a clean, professional finish on any stage, in any studio, or at any venue.
Robustness is key in professional environments, and the ELCCPH5-DMX1-PWR1 is built to last. Its outer PVC jacket is both tough and flexible, protecting the internal conductors from mechanical damage. The power section uses H07RN-F rubber cable with a conductor area of 3 x 1.5 mm², capable of handling up to 250 V AC / 16 A. Meanwhile, the DMX cable is designed to meet the AES/EBU standard, with a characteristic impedance of 110 ohms that ensures error-free digital data transmission, even over long distances. This combination makes it the ideal choice for powering and controlling moving heads, LED spotlights, and other DMX lighting devices in a daisy chain.

Benefits for Lighting and Event Professionals
For lighting technicians, audiovisual equipment rental companies, and event designers, the Cordial ELCCPH5-DMX1-PWR1 translates into greater efficiency and professionalism. By halving the number of cables required, setup and teardown are significantly accelerated. This not only saves time and labor but also creates a safer and tidier working environment with fewer tripping hazards. The reliability of Cordial and Neutrik components minimizes the possibility of technical failures during an event, ensuring a smooth and trouble-free show.
Use Cases
This combination cable is the perfect tool for a wide range of applications, including:
- Daisy-chaining of moving heads, LED bars, and other DMX lighting fixtures on trusses and stage structures.
- Fixed installations in theaters, concert halls and nightclubs where a clean appearance and concealed wiring are required.
- Event equipment rental companies, which need strong and reliable cables to withstand continuous use.
- Television and video production studios, to efficiently power and control studio lighting.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I connect and disconnect the PowerCON connectors with the device powered on?
No. For safety reasons, PowerCON connectors should not be connected or disconnected under load or while powered on, unless used with specific XX-series versions that allow it. It is always recommended to power off the equipment before handling power connections.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, the cable's power supply section uses a robust H07RN-F type rubber cable, which is suitable for outdoor use, offering good resistance to weathering and mechanical wear.
What is the difference between a 3-pin DMX cable and a 5-pin DMX cable?
A 3-pin DMX cable uses the pins for ground, signal +, and signal -. The original DMX512 standard specifies 5-pin connectors, where the two extra pins were reserved for a second, rarely used data link. Most current lighting equipment is compatible with 3-pin DMX.
Is the 110 ohm impedance important?
Yes, it's crucial. The 110-ohm impedance is specified by the AES/EBU standard for digital signal transmission. Using a cable with this correct impedance, such as the Cordial ELCCPH5-DMX1-PWR1, prevents signal reflections and data degradation, ensuring precise and reliable control of lighting equipment.
Project description
