{"product_id":"ace-backstage-c-15102","title":"Ace Backstage C-15102 Locking 3-Pole Female XLR Panel Receptacle","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Ace Backstage C-15102 is a D-series panel-mount female XLR receptacle built on the Neutrik NC3FD-L platform, intended for audio integrators and stage technicians who need a secure, permanent connector in patch panels, stage boxes, and wall plates. The locking mechanism is the critical differentiator here — once mated, the connector resists pull-out forces that would unseat a standard receptacle, making it appropriate for touring infrastructure and permanently installed systems where reliability under stress is non-negotiable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSolder cup termination gives installers full control over conductor attachment, favored in custom-wired panels where crimp or IDC methods are impractical or unsuitable. Silver contacts ensure low-resistance signal transfer across the rated 7.5A per contact capacity, supporting both mic-level and line-level balanced audio. The black metal Universal D-size housing drops into any standard D-series panel cutout, maintaining compatibility with the broad ecosystem of D-series panel hardware common in professional AV installation. Each unit is bagged individually, suited for single-connector replacements or incremental panel builds without excess stock commitment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRated IP 40 for protection against solid particle ingress and tested across a wide operating temperature range, this receptacle holds up in rack environments, portable stage boxes, and climate-variable touring applications. The UL 94 V-0 flammability rating satisfies installation code requirements in venues and permanent installs where flame-spread compliance is mandatory.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ace Backstage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52247091380408,"sku":"146891","price":10.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0871\/7382\/4696\/files\/146891_ACE-C-15102_ALT01sqr.jpg?v=1784565411","url":"https:\/\/soundpro.com\/products\/ace-backstage-c-15102","provider":"SoundPro","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
