Frequently Asked Questions
What type of equipment can I connect with this cable?
You can connect any professional lighting equipment that uses Powerconnector-type power input and output and DMX control via 3-pin XLR, such as moving heads, LED spotlights, strobes, and effects bars.
Does the IP65 rating apply to the entire cable or just the connectors?
The IP65 protection rating specifically refers to the connectors, which are the most vulnerable part to dust and water ingress. It guarantees that, once connected, the joint is watertight and safe for outdoor use.
Are Powerconnector TR connectors compatible with other types of Powerconnector?
Powerconnector TR (True Locking) connectors are designed to be compatible with Neutrik PowerCON TRUE1 connectors, an industry standard. They allow for safe connection and disconnection under electrical load.
Why is the 120 ohm impedance important in the DMX cable?
The 120-ohm impedance is the standard specified for the DMX512 protocol. Using a cable with this correct impedance ensures signal transmission without reflections or degradation, which is essential to avoid lighting control failures.
