PowerCon AC Jumper Cables

$199.00

PowerCon AC Jumper Cables are an essential component in professional production setups, such as concerts, theatrical stages, and large LED video wall installations. Manufactured by companies like Neutrik, the original developer, these cables feature proprietary 3-pole (line, neutral, and pre-mating safety ground) connectors that utilize a fast, reliable twist-lock latching system. This mechanism guarantees that the connection remains secure and the internal live contacts are fully insulated, even when unplugged or under physical stress.

The cables are designed to handle high current ratings, typically 20A (US rating) or 16A (European/VDE rating) at 250V AC, far exceeding the capacity of standard IEC C13/C14 cables. Different variants exist, including the original powerCON, the higher-capacity 32A powerCON, and the powerCON TRUE1 (TOP) series. The TRUE1 variant is load-break rated, meaning it can be safely connected or disconnected under live load, and features an IP65 ingress protection rating for use in outdoor, harsh environments where dust and water resistance are critical.

These jumper cables are often used to "daisy-chain" power between multiple compatible fixtures, such as LED panels or moving lights, which simplifies cable management and reduces the number of power sources required. Their durable construction, featuring high-impact, UV-resistant materials and heavy-duty cording (like 14 AWG or 12 AWG Seoprene), ensures long-lasting performance and flexibility in various weather conditions.

About the PowerCon AC Jumper Cables

PowerCon AC Jumper Cables are specialized power distribution cables designed for professional audio, lighting, and touring applications. They utilize the industry-standard PowerCon connector system, which features a secure, locking mechanism that prevents accidental disconnection—a critical safety feature in live event environments. These cables are used to connect power distribution units, amplifiers, and other AC-powered equipment, creating a robust and reliable power network. The "jumper" designation typically refers to short-length cables (often one to three meters) used for close-proximity connections between pieces of racked equipment or from a distro to the first device in a chain.

Constructed with heavy-duty cable jackets and quality conductors, these cables are built to handle high current loads safely and are rated for specific voltages and amperages, commonly 20A or 32A at 125V/250V. The connectors are color-coded: blue connectors (PowerCon TRUE1) are used for cable-to-inlet connections, and gray connectors (PowerCon TRUE1 TOP) are used for cable-to-cable connections, following a strict standard to ensure proper and safe wiring. Their durable design withstands repeated coiling, uncoiling, and the physical stresses of touring, providing a dependable link in a venue's power infrastructure.

By offering a secure, standardized, and robust connection method, PowerCon jumper cables enhance the safety, organization, and speed of setup for technical crews. They are a fundamental component in modern professional touring and installation power management, replacing traditional IEC connectors in many high-demand applications due to their superior locking design and current-handling capacity.
