Martin PDE BreakOut Cable
Description
Martin PDE BreakOut Cable
The Martin PDE BreakOut Cable is a purpose-built signal distribution solution designed to work seamlessly with the Martin VDO Atomic fixture family. This cable consolidates power, DMX, and ethernet into a single connection point, then breaks out each signal type to industry-standard connectors, streamlining cable runs and reducing connection points on busy rigs.
Signal Distribution & Connectivity
The cable accepts a single PDE Hybrid Connector input carrying power, DMX, and ethernet signals, then splits them into three separate outputs: Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 TOP for AC power, Neutrik etherCON TOP for network data, and Neutrik XLR 5-pin Female TOP for DMX control. All connectors are IP65 rated and hot-plugging compatible, allowing safe connection and disconnection during live operation.
Build & Environmental Durability
Measuring 500 mm (19.7 inches) in length and weighing just 325 g (0.52 lbs.), the cable remains compact and lightweight for touring and installation work. The black PVC housing and IP65 rating ensure reliable performance in outdoor environments, with an operating temperature range of -15°C to 75°C covering most seasonal conditions.
