This Stage Plus premade data cable (SP-CABBIA3MXA3FX005S) is a 5 m 110-ohm digital lead with an Amphenol AC3MM 3-pole male XLR at one end and an Amphenol AC3F 3-pole female XLR at the other, assembled by Stage Plus in South Africa on black Sommer Cable Binary 234 cable. It is intended for 3-pin DMX512 lighting control links between consoles, dimmers, LED fixtures and moving heads, and for AES/EBU digital audio, where a proper 110-ohm cable gives far more reliable data transmission than ordinary microphone cable. Sommer's Binary 234 has two 0.34 mm2 (AWG 22) oxygen-free copper conductors, a helical copper screen with 100% coverage plus an aluminium-coated fleece, and a 6.4 mm black PVC jacket. Amphenol's AC-series XLRs use machined contacts and the 'Jaws' cable-retention clamp. The 5 m length suits runs from a console to the first fixture or between fixtures on separate trusses.
