Integrated Power & Signal Hybrid Cables for Production

Hybrid cables offer a streamlined solution for complex production environments, integrating both power and signal lines within a single jacket. This design significantly reduces cable runs, minimising clutter and simplifying deployment for AV technicians, theatre technicians, production managers, riggers, and live sound engineers. The range includes robust options such as Eurocable AD1P1 Hybrid Cables, which combine 10A or 20A AC power with 3-pin or 5-pin Neutrik XLR audio/data connections. These are particularly well-suited for powering and controlling LED fixtures, moving lights, and self-powered PA systems, where efficiency and reduced setup time are critical. For broadcast and studio applications, specialised hybrid fiber-optic camera cables, like the Canare LF-2SM9N (SMPTE ST 311), are available. These cables feature single-mode, ITU-T G.657.A2 fiber with low bending loss, ensuring reliable high-bandwidth video and data transmission alongside electrical power in demanding conditions. The durable PVC outer jacket provides resilience across a wide temperature range, making them suitable for diverse outdoor and indoor shoots. Terminated with industry-standard connectors such as Neutrik powerCON, powerCON TRUE1 TOP, and PDL Tapon plugs and sockets, these hybrid solutions are designed for immediate deployment. Their 'two cables in one' construction enhances safety by reducing tripping hazards and simplifies inventory management, making them an indispensable component for efficient and tidy technical setups.
