The Neutrik NC3FX is a 3-pole female XLR cable connector from Neutrik's classic X series, the "industry standard" XLR connector with a nickel-plated zinc diecast shell, silver-plated contacts and a black boot. It assembles from only four parts with no screws, using a chuck-type strain relief that clamps cables from 3.5 to 8 mm diameter. It is used as the socket end of microphone, balanced line and 3-pin DMX cables by sound and lighting crews, studios, hire companies and installers. Neutrik rates it at 16 A per contact, contact resistance of 3 mΩ or less, over 10 GΩ insulation resistance, 1.5 kV DC dielectric strength, IP40, UL94 V-0 and more than 1,000 mating cycles, from -30 to +80 °C. Neutrik has phased the X series out in favour of the NC3FXX; this listing is the older style (stock while it lasts). Supplied as a single connector; cable not included.
