The 100-foot LKG 32/4 Socapex heavy-duty male-to-female cable is a robust, multi-conductor cable assembly engineered for the professional entertainment and touring industry to consolidate and distribute power and dimming control for stage lighting instruments. This specific cable utilizes the industry-standard Socapex (also known as 19-pin) connector system, with 32 conductors arranged in a specific pinout—typically 24 circuits for power (often 6 circuits of 4 conductors each) and 8 additional conductors for control or other uses—all contained within a single, durable jacket. The male-to-female configuration allows for daisy-chaining multiple cables together to extend the run from a dimmer rack or power distribution unit to remote lighting positions on trusses, fly bars, or set pieces, significantly reducing the clutter and setup time associated with running numerous individual feeder cables.

Constructed for the demanding environment of touring and permanent installations, the cable features a heavy-duty outer jacket that is resistant to abrasion, crushing, oils, and flame, meeting stringent safety standards like NEC Article 520 for theater use. The individual conductors within are precisely sized (commonly 12 AWG or 14 AWG) to handle the current required by multiple high-wattage stage lights, ensuring safe power transmission with minimal voltage drop over the 100-foot length. The connectors themselves are rugged, molded or metal-bodied units with a positive locking mechanism that prevents accidental disconnection, which is critical when the cable is suspended over performers and equipment. Each pin is clearly numbered, corresponding to standard pinout conventions, allowing for reliable and consistent connections between dimmers, distribution boxes, and lighting fixtures.

The primary application of this cable is within a Socapex-based power distribution system. A single run from the dimmer rack terminates in a breakout box or fan-out at the lighting position, where the bundled circuits are separated into individual Edison, Stage Pin, or PowerCON outlets for connection to each fixture. This system dramatically improves efficiency, safety, and organization in lighting rigs. The 100-foot length provides substantial reach for larger stages or for routing around scenic elements. By condensing up to 32 separate connections into one manageable, robust cable, this Socapex assembly is an indispensable component for electricians and lighting technicians, enabling faster, safer, and more reliable deployment of complex stage lighting systems.
