I'm just a dumb audio monkey, but we use regular mic cable for lights all the time. As long as it's relatively short runs (under 100ft or so), it's never been a problem....go above 100ft, you're in the danger zone. Several hundred feet, you're almost certainly gunna run into issues. Great video, and thanks for pronouncing soca (so-ka) correctly!

You can… but even under 100ft runs you can still run into problems. Often times with moving lights, they become jittery and unreliable, which isn’t what you want on a show.

A little bit surprised that power cables with IEC 60309 industrial connectors are not mentioned. If my memory serves me right, they're quite common on power distros and fan-tail cables.

Great point! Those are also commonly referred to as pin & sleeve connectors. Though they're occasionally found in entertainment in the states, they're mostly used overseas. That doesn't mean they aren't common here, but as far as what we see regularly in our circles they aren't common. Thanks for the comment!

What’s a fan-tail cable? Never heard of that.
@EventsUnited
@EventsUnited Жыл бұрын
A fantail splits into multiple connectors at one end. The term "fantail" comes from its resemblance to a handheld fan or a bird's spread tail feathers.

You can use microphone as dmx (I've been using it for years) But it hugely depends on how many lights you're using and the length of cable.

You CAN do all sorts of dumb things, but professionals don't violate the spec. 3-wire DMX over XLR is for weddings and party DJs. ;P And stop running lighting control signals through the audio snake.

We suggest reaching out to the vendor you bought the cable from directly - they could help double-check your connectors and ensure everything is compatible!

Great content. However the background music was a distraction. I was, at times, not able to clearly hear what you were saying because of the BGM.

I doubt that you are using simply Cat 5 cable which only gets 100 Mbps. You are most likely using Cat5e which gets you 1 Gbps -1 Gigabit. Also known as 1000 Mbps. There is a huge difference between Cat5e and Cat 5 and I see AV people making this mistake all of the time.

Thanks for your comment! Yes, it is cat5e, some of it's even cat6, though not because this particular application needs it.

Hard to believe anyone uses socapex in 2023. It made sense when I got into theater in the 70s, when six channels of solid state dimming weighed 75 pounds... copper is expensive and heavy.

It’s actually extremely efficient, and convenient. Like for us, all our lighting power outs come from our rafters with several socapex out, that way we run one (rather heavy cable) and get access to 6, 240v circuits. Especially with lighting, when signal fixtures can be around 800w or higher.

Most events still use socapex. It’s absolutely still used.

Please stop calling them Edison cables. Edison was DC. I like either Tesla or humble cables
