Product Description

Overview

The KUPO KCWDP224TBK Portable DMX Data Cable is built for professional lighting control runs that need stable signal behavior and a flexible jacket. It combines 22 AWG (American Wire Gauge) tinned-copper conductors, foamed polyethylene insulation, 100% aluminum/mylar foil shielding, and a dedicated tinned-copper drain wire inside a matte black soft-PVC jacket.

Why It Matters

The dual-pair format gives lighting crews two DMX512 universes in one jacket, which can simplify trunk lines and universe distribution. The cable is specified for DMX512 use, with ETL-verified performance, flame-retardant construction, and a jacket designed to resist UV and fungus during portable production work.

Key Features

  • 2 twisted pair / 4 core construction for DMX512 control wiring
  • Flexible construction supports portable use and tight bends
  • Foamed-PE insulation on color-coded pairs helps maintain low capacitance
  • 100% aluminum/mylar foil shield with 22 AWG tinned-copper drain wire
  • Matte black soft-PVC jacket (RAL 9005) is flame-retardant, UV/fungus resistant, and ETL-verified for DMX512 performance

Applications

KCWDP224TBK is suitable for DMX512 control runs, console-to-dimmer links, trunk-line distribution, universe wiring, portable rental rigs, touring systems, theatres, architectural lighting, and themed environments.

Compatibility

Use KCWDP224TBK where a 2-pair DMX512 data cable is appropriate. The conductor colors are red/blue and white/green, and the working / test voltage rating is 30 V / 500 V.
