HICON presents the new 3-pin XLR "Alpenstecker"

With the new Alp-Line XLR Series, HICON presents the result of its German-Austrian joint project in connection technology: professional 3-pin XLR connectors (female: HI-X3CFA-NXT / male: HI-X3CMA-NXT) with genuine gold-plated contacts in the highest quality workmanship for optimal signal transmission. The particularly robust construction in a high-quality metal housing ensures increased durability, while the elegant black silk matt finish is visually appealing and the slim, ergonomic design ensures a comfortable feel – ideal for daily use in demanding audio, lighting, and event technology.

The special collet design of the connectors provides a decent pull-out force and also makes installation easier. At the end of the connector, a flexible plastic cap with integrated kink protection effectively protects the cable from bending stress. Special feature: Thanks to the sophisticated rib structure, the cap can be tightened quickly and easily without additional tools.

For easy identification in complex cabling, the connectors are equipped with orange color rings as standard; a black replacement ring for alternative markings is included in the scope of delivery. Incidentally, the product is delivered in environmentally friendly packaging that is completely free of plastic.

The connectors are suitable for cables with a diameter of 3.0 to 8.0 mm. Sommer cable has developed the highly flexible DMX cable SC-Binary 225 (item 510-0051) to perfectly match these connectors. Together with the new connectors, it forms the ready-to-connect DMX-AES/EBU Alpine cable of the new ‘BERG’ series (3-pin). This combination is ideal for ambitious lighting truss climbers and event professionals who need to be able to rely on their equipment even at lofty heights.
