PD-Connex CX07-0.50 - 0.5m Hybrid DMX and Power Combi Cable
The PD-Connex CX07-0.50 is a professional and highly efficient solution designed to simplify the connection of lighting equipment. This hybrid cable combines both power and DMX control signals in a single, robust cable. At 0.50 meters long, it is the ideal choice for bridging and daisy-chaining nearby equipment, such as moving heads, LED PAR lights, or color bars mounted on a truss or stand, eliminating cable clutter and drastically speeding up setup and teardown times.
Built to withstand the demands of professional use on tours, events, and stages, the CX07-0.50 features Powerconnector TR input (A) and output (B) connectors that ensure a stable and secure electrical connection with a locking system. The 3 x 1.5 mm² power cable allows it to handle loads up to 16 amps. Meanwhile, the 3-pin DMX signal cable (XLR Male to XLR Female) guarantees reliable, interference-free data transmission thanks to its 120-ohm characteristic impedance, complying with the DMX512 standard. Its IP65 rating certifies that both the cable and connectors are completely dustproof and protected against water jets, making it perfect for festivals and outdoor events.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this cable compatible with any DMX equipment?
- Yes, it uses 3-pin XLR connectors and a 120-ohm cable, which are the industry standard for DMX lighting, ensuring compatibility with the vast majority of equipment on the market.
- What does the IP65 rating mean?
- The IP65 rating guarantees that the cable and its connectors are fully protected against dust ingress and can withstand low-pressure water jets from any direction. It is not submersible, but it is perfectly safe for outdoor use in the rain.
- Can I connect equipment from different brands with this cable?
- Of course. As long as the devices use Powerconnector TR input and output connectors for power and 3-pin XLR connectors for DMX control, the cable will work without problems.
- What is a length of 0.50 meters ideal for?
- This length is perfect for bridging power and signal between two lighting fixtures that are mounted very close together, such as on a T-bar spotlight or truss, minimizing excess cable and keeping the installation tidy.
