Description
Martin Power+Data Cable Instal CMX BBD-BBD 5m
The Martin Power+Data Cable Instal CMX BBD-BBD 5m is a hybrid installation cable engineered for permanent deployments in professional lighting and control systems. This cable integrates power and data transmission in a single robust run, eliminating the need for separate conduits and simplifying system architecture. Built to Martin Professional standards, it delivers reliable performance in fixed installations where durability and signal integrity are non-negotiable.
Cable Design & Construction
The CMX Installation jacket designation indicates this cable is optimized for long-term stationary use rather than frequent handling. Dual BBD connectors on each end carry both DC power and digital data over dedicated internal conductors, allowing a single cable path to manage both control and power requirements simultaneously.
Specifications & Connectivity
At 5 meters in length, this cable accommodates mid-range fixture runs in installed venues without requiring intermediate breaks. The BBD connector standard ensures compatibility with Martin Professional's integrated lighting control ecosystem, maintaining signal fidelity across both power and data channels.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean for this cable?
B-Stock means the cable is fully functional and meets all performance specifications, but may have minor cosmetic imperfections from handling or display. It carries the same Martin Professional build quality and warranty eligibility as new stock.
Can I use this cable for portable or mobile lighting setups?
No. This cable is engineered for permanent, fixed installations only. The CMX jacket is optimized for stationary use; frequent coiling, uncoiling, and transport will reduce its lifespan. Mobile events require more flexible, portable-grade cables.
What's included in a single cable, and what connectors do I get?
You receive one 5-meter hybrid cable with BBD connectors on both ends. Each connector carries both power and data signals via dedicated internal conductors, so one cable replaces separate power and control runs.
Is this compatible with other lighting control systems or only Martin Professional?
The BBD connector standard and dual-conductor design are Martin Professional OEM specification. Compatibility with non-Martin systems depends on whether they support BBD connectors and combined power/data architecture; verify with your system designer before purchasing.
How does a hybrid cable simplify installation compared to running separate power and DMX cables?
Instead of threading two separate cables through conduits or cable trays, a single hybrid run carries both power and digital control data, reducing labor, conduit space, and potential signal interference between parallel cables in close proximity.
