PROEL PH100LU5 - Professional Hybrid Power and Signal Cable (5 Meters)
Optimize your live and studio sound setup with the PROEL PH100LU5 , a comprehensive solution designed for audio professionals seeking efficiency and organization. This hybrid cable, technically known as a "Phono-Network" (Audio-Network) cable, combines electrical power and balanced audio signal transmission in a single flexible cable. It's the ultimate tool for connecting active speakers, stage monitors, and compatible lighting equipment, eliminating the need for double cable runs and drastically reducing stage clutter.
Manufactured to Proel's stringent quality standards, the PH100LU5 utilizes the premium HPC501 bulk cable. Its internal construction integrates three individually insulated 1.5 mm² power conductors to ensure stable and safe current flow, along with a pair of perfectly shielded 0.35 mm² signal conductors. This architecture guarantees crystal-clear audio transmission, free from electromagnetic interference or current-induced noise, delivering flawless sound performance even in demanding environments.
Robustness is key in this model. The connectors are designed to withstand the rigors of touring and daily setup. At the source end, it features a 16A Schuko power connector and a female XLR connector with a rugged metal housing. At the destination end (the speaker or equipment), it offers a three-pin IEC (type C13) connector and a male XLR connector. At 5 meters long, it provides the versatility needed for most standard stage configurations without creating unnecessary cable clutter.
Main features
-
"All-in-One" Design: Combines power and signal into a single flexible cable, facilitating quick assembly and disassembly of equipment.
-
High Quality Conductors: 3 x 1.5 mm² power section for safe power delivery and 0.35 mm² audio section for superior signal fidelity.
-
Advanced Isolation: The audio pair features dedicated shielding that effectively isolates it from adjacent current conductors, preventing mains hum.
-
Professional Connectors: Equipped with Proel PRO series XLR connectors with metal housings and high durability contacts, along with industry standard power plugs.
-
Flexibility and Durability: The soft PVC outer cover allows for easy rolling and resists abrasion and the usual trampling on stages.
Benefits for the user
Using the PROEL PH100LU5 transforms the logistics of any event. For sound engineers and stage technicians, the main benefit is the reduction in setup and teardown time , as only one cable reel per speaker needs to be managed instead of two. Furthermore, it significantly improves the stage's aesthetics by eliminating the tangle of visible cables and reducing the risk of tripping hazards, resulting in a much more professional and clean setup.
Use cases
-
Active PA Systems: Direct connection from the mixing console or stage box to the main self-powered speakers (L/R).
-
Stage Monitors: Ideal for feeding and sending signal to active wedges distributed across the stage floor.
-
DJ booths: Neat connection of reference monitors in booths with limited space.
-
Fixed Installations: Conference rooms, theaters or auditoriums where discreet and unified cabling to the sound points is required.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Does the power cable introduce noise into the audio signal?
No. The HPC501 cable design physically and electrically isolates the audio conductors with specific shielding to prevent any interference or induction from the 220V line.
-
Are the connectors compatible with any active speaker?
Yes, the combination of IEC connector (typical of computers or amplifiers) and 3-pin XLR is the industry standard for the vast majority of professional self-powered speakers on the market.
-
Can it handle high-power speakers?
Absolutely. With 1.5 mm² conductors and connectors rated for 16A, this cable can easily handle the power consumption of high-performance PA speakers.
Project description
5-meter assembled hybrid cable for power and balanced audio signal. Based on Proel HPC501 cable, it integrates three 1.5 mm² power conductors and two 0.35 mm² signal conductors with independent shielding. One end is terminated with a 16A Schuko connector and a 3-pin female XLR connector (metal housing), and the other end with a three-pole IEC C13 connector and a 3-pin male XLR connector (metal housing). The outer jacket is made of flexible black PVC.
