PROEL HPC501 - Professional Hybrid Power and Audio Cable (Cut per meter)
The PROEL HPC501 is the ultimate solution for simplifying cabling in professional stages and studios. This hybrid phono-receiver cable combines electrical power and balanced audio signal transmission into a single cable, eliminating clutter and the need to bundle parallel cables. Meticulously designed to power active speakers, stage monitors, and equipment requiring both power and signal, the HPC501 ensures a clean, fast, and secure installation.
Thanks to its robust and flexible construction, this cable offers exceptional reliability for touring and mobile applications. Proel's engineering has individually separated and insulated the power conductors from the signal conductors, ensuring that current flow does not interfere with audio purity, delivering crystal-clear sound and stable power at all times.
Main features
-
2-in-1 Hybrid Design: Integrates 3 x 1.5 mm² power conductors and a pair of shielded 0.35 mm² audio signal conductors under a single cover.
-
High Quality Insulation: The signal conductors are protected with a red copper spiral shield with 90% coverage, minimizing electromagnetic interference and network noise.
-
Durable Outer Cover: Made with flexible 60 shore PVC, resistant to abrasion and heavy live use, maintaining optimal flexibility even in difficult conditions.
-
Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC): Conductors made from high-purity bare copper for lossless signal transmission and efficient electrical conductivity.
-
Certified Safety: Complies with CEI 20-35 (IEC 332.1) regulations on fire resistance and electrical safety.
Benefits for the professional
Using the PROEL HPC501 transforms the logistics of any event. By reducing the number of cables required by half, setup and teardown times are drastically reduced. This results in a visually cleaner stage, without tangled cables on the floor, improving both aesthetics and tripping hazards. Furthermore, its durability ensures a long lifespan, making the investment worthwhile from the very first use.
Use cases
-
Active PA Systems: Direct connection from the mixing console or stagebox to self-powered speakers (L/R) and subwoofers.
-
Stage Monitors: Ideal for feeding and sending mixes to active monitoring wedges at concerts.
-
Audio-controlled lighting: Useful in configurations where power and DMX signal (verify specific impedance) or audio signal for triggers are required.
-
Fixed Installations: Theaters, auditoriums and conference rooms where the aim is to minimize visible cabling in trusses or channels.
-
DJ booths: Organized cable management for booth monitors.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the power cable induce noise in the audio signal?
No. The HPC501 is specifically designed to prevent this. The audio section features its own isolation and 90% coiled copper shielding that protects the signal from interference that could be generated by the adjacent power line.
What is the total diameter of the cable?
The overall outer diameter of the cover is approximately 10.80 mm, making it compatible with most standard industrial and audio connectors (XLR and PowerCon type).
Is it suitable for outdoor use?
Its PVC cover is very strong and durable for use in outdoor settings, although it is recommended to protect the connections from direct rain and extreme humidity.
Project description
Professional hybrid cable combining power and balanced audio signal. It consists of a power section with three 1.5 mm² (16 AWG) PVC-insulated conductors (3.0 mm diameter) and a signal section with two 0.35 mm² (22 AWG) PVC-insulated conductors (1.50 mm diameter). It includes a red copper spiral signal shield with 90% coverage. The outer jacket is made of flexible 60 Shore A PVC with a total diameter of 10.80 mm and is black. It complies with CEI 20-35 (IEC 332.1) standards. Operating voltage is 300/500V for power, with an electrical resistance of 12 Ohm/Km (power) and 54.5 Ohm/Km (signal).
