beamZ Pro CX23-5 - IP65 5m Extension Kit for Outdoor Lighting
The beamZ Pro CX23-5 is an extension kit specifically designed for IP65-rated outdoor luminaires. This kit includes two 5m cables: a power extension cable and a 3-pin DMX extension cable, both equipped with weatherproof connectors specifically designed for professional outdoor lighting. This kit allows you to extend the distance between spotlights and power or control sources while maintaining the weatherproofing and safety of the installation.
The CX23-5 uses professional Powerconnector Sc IP65 (A and B) connectors for power and 3-pin DATA Sc IP65 (M and F) connectors for the DMX data line. These connectors are designed to withstand rain, dust, and humidity under normal outdoor operating conditions, ensuring a reliable and robust connection even in permanent or long-term installations. The IP65 rating ensures that the assembly is resistant to dust and water jets from any direction, provided the connectors are properly attached.
With 5 meters of cable length, the kit allows for greater flexibility in the distribution of IP65 projectors on facades, structures, gardens, outdoor stages, or architectural elements, without resorting to improvised solutions that could compromise electrical safety or the integrity of the DMX line. The CX23-5 has been designed as an ideal complement to BeamZ Pro projectors from the BWA series and other IP65 luminaires that use the same waterproof Powerconnector Sc and DATA Sc connectors.
Its robust construction and the quality of the connectors make it a reliable solution for rental companies, lighting installers, technical services and any professional who needs to extend power and control lines in outdoor environments with all the guarantees of safety and durability.

Product benefits
-
Extend the installation without losing watertightness: the CX23-5 allows you to increase the distance between luminaires and connection points while maintaining the IP65 protection rating throughout the chain.
-
Greater flexibility in lighting design: the additional 5m of power and DMX makes it easy to place spotlights exactly where they are needed, without being limited by the length of the cables integrated into each luminaire.
-
Time and material savings: By using a specific kit, the use of improvised waterproof boxes, network adapters and conventional DMX patch cables that complicate assembly and maintenance is avoided.
-
Reliability in adverse conditions: Powerconnector Sc IP65 and DATA Sc IP65 connectors provide firm connections protected against rain, dust and dirt, reducing failures due to false contacts or corrosion.
-
Cleaner and more professional installation: a single kit per section organizes the wiring and facilitates future revisions or expansions of the installation.
-
Compatibility with IP65 BeamZ Pro luminaires: designed to work directly with the brand's outdoor projectors that incorporate these same waterproof connectors (for example, many units of the BWA series).
Use cases
-
Architectural lighting of facades and buildings: extension of power supply and DMX lines from fixed points to projectors located at a greater distance.
-
Outdoor events: festivals, concerts, mappings, stage lighting and tents where it is necessary to extend the range of IP65 spotlights.
-
Gardens, terraces and landscaping: connection of luminaires distributed along paths, roads or green areas while maintaining protection from the elements.
-
Fixed installations in commercial exteriors: hotels, shopping centers, company facades or public spaces with permanent architectural lighting.
-
Rental and integration companies: as part of the standard kit for working with IP65 projectors in different locations, simplifying assembly according to each project.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which light fixtures is this extension kit compatible with?
The CX23-5 is designed for IP65 outdoor luminaires that use IP65 Powerconnector SC connectors for power and 3-pin IP65 DATA SC connectors for DMX. It is a common accessory for the BeamZ Pro BWA series spotlights and other IP65 projectors from the brand that use the same connectors.
Can I use this kit with lights that have standard PowerCON connectors or regular 3-pin XLR connectors?
Not directly. This kit is equipped with specific waterproof connectors (Powerconnector Sc IP65 and DATA Sc IP65). For spotlights with standard connectors (blue/gray PowerCON, Schuko, or conventional 3-pin XLR), cables or adapters suitable for those formats must be used, always ensuring water resistance for outdoor installations.
Does the kit include both the power cable and the DMX cable?
Yes. The CX23-5 is supplied as a set consisting of a 5m power extension cable and a 5m DMX extension cable with 3-pin waterproof connectors.
Is it suitable for permanent outdoor use?
The kit has an IP65 protection rating and is designed for outdoor applications. However, as with any fixed installation, it is recommended to comply with current electrical regulations, respect the manufacturer's specifications, and carry out periodic inspections of the condition of connectors and wiring.
Does the extension affect the DMX signal?
A 5m run is within normal limits for DMX lines in professional installations. As long as suitable cables, such as those from the CX23-5, are used, the signal will remain stable. Even so, for installations with a large total length, it is advisable to follow DMX best practices (end-of-line termination, daisy-chain topology, etc.).
Compatibility and usage examples
The beamZ Pro CX23-5 integrates particularly well with IP65 projectors from the BWA series (such as the BWA410, BWA412, and BWA418, among other compatible models), allowing for increased distance between the units and their connection points without compromising on watertight connectors. Furthermore, it can be used in any outdoor lighting system designed with the same family of Powerconnector Sc IP65 and DATA Sc IP65 connectors, whether for temporary event installations or permanent architectural lighting projects.
