The twist-lock Powerconnector ensures that the equipment stays connected even on busy stages. Its rugged construction guarantees a long lifespan, withstanding the rigors of touring and heavy use, making it a smart and lasting investment.

Use Cases

This cable is the preferred choice for a multitude of applications in the entertainment and events industry. It's perfect for powering powered speakers, subwoofers, mixing consoles, signal processors, moving heads, LED PAR lights, smoke machines, and other stage equipment that uses a Type A Powerconnector power input.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the blue and gray Powerconnector?
The blue Powerconnector (Type A) is designed for power input (power-in). The gray connector (Type B) is for power output (power-out). They are not interchangeable, which prevents incorrect and potentially dangerous connections between a device's input and output.

Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
This cable has standard connectors that are not rated as waterproof (IP). For outdoor use where it may be exposed to moisture, it is recommended to use cables and connectors with an IP65 rating or higher.

Is a 1.5 mm² section sufficient for my equipment?
A 1.5 mm² cable cross-section is standard for most professional audio and lighting equipment with moderate to high power consumption. It's always advisable to check the maximum current draw (in amps) of your device and ensure the cable can handle it, but for the vast majority of standard applications, it's more than sufficient.
