Neutrik NC5MXX XX Series 5-Pin Male XLR Connector | Nickel/Silver

The Neutrik XX Series 5-pin male XLR cable connector is built for audio professionals who demand field-proven reliability across touring, installed sound, and broadcast wiring applications. As the direct successor to Neutrik's globally adopted X series, the XX series addresses the practical demands of working technicians: faster assembly, stronger strain relief, and enhanced contact integrity under repeated mating cycles in demanding environments.

Five-pin XLR configurations are standard in DMX lighting control, AES3 digital audio runs, and intercom systems where additional poles carry power or return signals. This connector's chuck-type strain relief handles the varied cable diameters encountered in professional wiring builds, while the polyurethane boot gland guards against cable fatigue at the entry point — a common failure mode on heavily routed cable bundles. The latch lock mechanism and protected internal shell thread maintain secure connections even on connectors that see frequent plugging cycles on stage or in rack environments.

Integrators and cable fabricators who stock Neutrik connectors across a facility or touring inventory benefit from the XX series' compatibility with color-coded rings and boots for quick visual identification. The IEC 61076-2-103 compliant construction and UL 94 V-0 rated materials meet the documentation requirements expected in commercial installation and contracted production work.
