PD-Connex CX12-1 - 1.2m Powerconnector to Schuko Power Cable
The PD-Connex CX12-1 is a professional power cable designed to ensure a safe and reliable electrical connection in the most demanding environments. Measuring 1.2 meters in length, this cable is the perfect solution for connecting professional audio, video, and lighting equipment to a standard power outlet. It combines the robustness and safety of a Powerconnector input (Type A) connector with the universality of a Schuko male plug, commonly used throughout much of Europe.
Made from high-quality materials, the cable stands out for its remarkable flexibility, which greatly facilitates handling, deployment, and storage. Inside, it features three 1 mm² conductors capable of meeting the power demands of a wide range of devices. The robust 8.5 mm diameter outer jacket protects the internal conductors from wear, ensuring a long lifespan even with intensive use on tours, at live events, or in fixed installations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a Powerconnector and a standard IEC connector?
The main difference is safety. The Powerconnector has a rotating locking system that prevents accidental disconnection. Furthermore, it's designed to withstand higher currents and more rugged use than the traditional IEC connector, making it the standard in the professional sector.
Is this Powerconnector (Type A) compatible with the output connectors (Type B)?
No. The Type A connector (blue and gray) is designed for power input to a device. The Type B connector (gray) is for power output (for daisy-chaining devices). They are designed with different notches to prevent incorrect connection and potential electrical damage.
Can I use this cable for any device?
This cable is suitable for equipment whose current consumption does not exceed the capacity of a 1 mm² conductor. It is always recommended to check the power specifications of your equipment to ensure compatibility and safe operation.
