Martin BreakInOut Cable Power-DMX to PDE

Martin BreakInOut Cable Power-DMX to PDE

The Martin BreakInOut Cable Power-DMX to PDE is a compact breakout solution for integrating power and DMX control into Martin fixtures equipped with PDE hybrid connectors. At just under 20 inches, this cable keeps your rig organized and minimizes cable runs at the fixture end. Built for studio installations and live touring rigs, it consolidates three critical signal paths—power input, DMX in, and DMX thru—into a single assembly that simplifies patch management and reduces setup time.

Signal Path & Integration

The cable accepts bare AC power leads (allowing flexible connector fitting), feeds DMX via a Neutrik XLR 5-pin Male TOP connector, and outputs both power and DMX through a PDE hybrid connector at the fixture end. The XLR 5-pin Female TOP thru connection enables direct daisy-chaining of additional fixtures without external adapters, streamlining multi-light rig setups and keeping your control chain clean and predictable.

Reliability & Performance

Full IP65 rating protects against dust and water ingress, ensuring reliable operation in studio environments, outdoor recording sessions, and touring venues. All connectors support hot plugging compatibility, and the assembly operates reliably across the −15°C to 75°C temperature range, delivering consistent performance whether you're recording in climate-controlled studios or mobile rigs in variable conditions.
