We’ve got a bunch of Sommer’s Hi-Con SOCAPEX and it’s been fine for years of regular use.

How many do you need & what is your timescale. I could do you a quote to build them for you.

No not at all, every lighting company I know has used them for the last thirty plus years. Even with LED is the only sensible way to get electrics on to trusses without needing a distro

If you don't know, why don't you ask? Would be far better way to learn something. Socapex is for power distribution DMX is a control signal, low voltage. = Why would DMX use socapex? |

Well, despite this opening yet another efinque can of worms... socapex is used for many line array speaker distribution systems now, with fan outs to CA-COM, NL8, etc. But maybe it’s better to say it’s for ‘high voltage’ systems.
And they’re only fragile pins if you’re a fat handed lazy tw*t who can’t make the locating pin mate. In which case, I feel sorry for your girlfriend... Edited by toastyghost - 04 January 2019 at 10:56pm |

Don’t think there’s a girlfriend, man just a "I like to play with myself", he should get a new hobby, maybe fixing microwaves

yeah as Kyle says they're used all the time when you need a multicore cable that is running "power" level signals rather than normal mic/line/signal level multi's. So running multiple power feeds up to lighting bar/truss obviously, running many channels of amplified signal up to line array hangs or to banks of subwoofers, running a big bunch of monitor feeds to a particular side or area of stage. As said, usually run on socapex and then a set of tails or breakout box on the end will turn it back into whatever connection is needed: powercon, 16a, NL4, NL8 etc. K

Hey elfinque:
Socapex is a French connector manufacturer who make a wide range of products, many of which have direct equivalents made by other suppliers. In the event production world they are all known as "Socapex". The most common type, and the subject of this thread, is used for lighting and loudspeaker circuits and is a lot bigger than the ones used on military comms sets. You really are out of your depth here... |
