Frequently asked questions
Can I use either cable for both audio and lighting?
No. The standard DC + is optimized for digital audio transmission with audio-specific signal integrity features. The LSZH version is a hybrid power-and-data cable designed specifically for Martin lighting systems and cannot serve the same audio function.
What is LSZH and why does it matter?
LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) is a fire-resistant jacket material that suppresses toxic fumes and halogenated acids in case of fire. It is required by building codes in many commercial, theater, broadcast, and institutional facilities.
Which cable do I need for a theater installation?
If you are running audio (sound reinforcement, playback systems), choose the standard Martin DC + Ethernet Cable. If you are running Martin Professional lighting rigs, choose the LSZH variant for fire safety compliance.
Are both cables 100 meters long?
Yes, both cables are 100 meters, allowing extended runs without intermediate amplification or signal regeneration in their respective applications.
