This specialized fan-out (or breakout) cable is an essential tool for efficient power distribution in demanding entertainment and stage lighting environments. It features a robust, male 19-pin Socapex-compatible connector on one end, designed to interface with a power distribution unit or a female Socapex extension cable, which carries six individual electrical circuits within a single multi-conductor cable. The other end "fans out" into six individual female stage pin connectors (also known as 3-pin stage lighting connectors), allowing for direct connection to up to six separate lighting fixtures or devices.

Constructed with heavy-duty, tour-grade cable (typically 12 or 14 AWG wire), this assembly is built to withstand the rigors of frequent use and transportation. The Socapex connector itself is engineered for safety, featuring a secure locking ring mechanism and "first make, last break" (FMLB) grounding contacts to ensure a safe and reliable connection. This cable simplifies rigging by reducing cable clutter, minimizing potential tripping hazards, and streamlining setup and teardown times in complex production setups.
