PD-Connex CX104-6 - Professional Outdoor DMX Cable IP65 6 meters

The PD-Connex CX104-6 is a 6-meter professional DMX cable designed for maximum reliability under the most demanding conditions. Specifically built for outdoor use, this cable boasts an IP65 rating, guaranteeing complete resistance to dust and water jets. It's the perfect solution for lighting professionals, event technicians, and rental companies that require stable, interference-free DMX signal transmission at outdoor concerts, festivals, architectural installations, or any production exposed to the elements.

Made with high-quality materials, the CX104-6 features 3-pin metal XLR connectors (male-female) that ensure a solid and durable connection. Its flexible cable design prevents kinks and tangles, greatly simplifying assembly and disassembly. Thanks to its superior conductor and shielding, this cable guarantees that the DMX digital signal reaches each lighting fixture intact, eliminating the risk of flickering, failures, or erratic behavior.

Main features

• Professional Length of 6 Meters: Versatile length, ideal for connecting equipment on stages, trusses or studios without creating an excess of messy cable.
• IP65 Protection Rating: Fully protected against dust ingress and resistant to low-pressure water jets, allowing safe operation in rain or humid environments.
• 3-Pin Metal XLR Connectors: Robust connectors (male and female) with IP65 sealing that offer a secure and wear-resistant connection for continuous use.
• Flawless Signal Transmission: The 28x0.1mm conductor and dense 60x0.1mm shielding protect the signal from electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI).
• Flexible and Durable Cable: Its highly flexible construction prevents the cable from twisting or suffering internal damage, making it easy to handle and store.
• Designed for Professionals: Designed to withstand the harsh conditions of touring, rentals and outdoor events, ensuring a long lifespan.

Benefits for lighting and entertainment professionals

• Guaranteed signal quality: Avoid data errors that cause lighting failures. This cable's construction ensures clean and stable signal transmission, crucial for synchronized shows.
• Work efficiency: The flexible design and high-quality connectors streamline installation and dismantling processes, saving valuable time at every event.
• Long-lasting investment: The robustness of its components makes the CX104-6 a reliable work tool that will withstand the test of time and intensive use, offering an excellent return on investment.

Use cases

The PD-Connex CX104-6 is the ideal choice for a wide variety of professional applications, including:

• Connecting moving heads, LED PAR lights, strobes and effects machines at festivals and outdoor concerts.
• Architectural lighting installations on building facades, monuments, bridges and gardens.
• Film and television productions in outdoor locations.
• Corporate events, weddings and celebrations in tents, terraces or any space exposed to variable weather conditions.
• Audiovisual equipment rental companies that need robust and reliable equipment for intensive use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly does the IP65 rating mean?
The IP65 rating indicates that the product is completely protected against dust ingress (the "6") and protected against low-pressure water jets projected from any angle (the "5"). This means it is ideal for withstanding rain, but is not designed to be submerged in water.

Can I use this DMX cable to connect a microphone?
Although both use XLR connectors, it's not recommended. DMX cables are designed with a specific impedance of 110-120 ohms for transmitting high-frequency digital signals. Using a microphone cable (with lower impedance) for DMX can cause signal errors. Conversely, using a DMX audio cable can degrade sound quality.

Is it compatible with 5-pin DMX equipment?
This is a 3-pin cable, currently the most common standard for basic DMX functions. It is not directly compatible with equipment requiring a 5-pin connection, for which a 5-pin cable or a specific adapter would be needed.

Does the cable's flexibility compromise its durability?
No, quite the opposite. The flexible design is intended to minimize stress on the internal conductors when the cable is bent or coiled. This prevents internal breakage and significantly extends its lifespan compared to more rigid cables that are prone to damage from repeated use.
