Neutrik NC3FXX-BAG XX Series 3-Pole Female XLR Straight Cable Connector | Black/Silver

The Neutrik XX Series female XLR cable connector is the go-to termination choice for touring engineers, systems integrators, and production crews who need a connector that holds up across thousands of mate cycles without compromising signal integrity. Its cage-design female contact reduces contact resistance and maintains a clean, low-impedance signal path — a measurable advantage over basic stamped contacts in critical audio chains, whether at FOH, in a patch bay, or across a permanent install.

Designed as the successor to the widely deployed X Series, the XX Series addresses real-world assembly challenges head-on. The improved chuck-type strain relief delivers higher pull-out force and shortens termination time, while the polyurethane boot gland protects cable bends from fatigue under repeated movement — essential on touring rigs where cables are coiled and deployed nightly. The enlarged solid metal latch is easier to grip in dark or cramped stage environments, and the internal shell thread is recessed to prevent damage during rough handling.

For technicians managing large connector inventories, colored rings and boots allow fast visual identification across signal chains. The zinc diecast shell and UL 94 V-0 rated components give this connector the durability expected on professional touring and fixed-install projects where downtime is not an option.
