Neutrik Announces New XX Series powerCON blue/grey & speakON Cable Connectors

Designed to provide added functionality, easier assembly and improved power handling capabilities as well as offering new certifications to all relevant modern safety standards.

Neutrik Americas has announced new XX series powerCON blue/grey and speakON 2- and 4-pole cable connectors that are designed to provide added functionality, easier assembly and improved power handling capabilities as well as offering new certifications to all relevant modern safety standards.

Both the powerCON and speakON XX series connectors offer a unique, two-compound molded housing offering improved ergonomics with slip-proof material. Color coding on both the housing and the bushing is intended clearly visible.

Internally, the connectors are stated to have improved assembly: the strain relief locks with the insert mechanically and aligns with the housing. New two-component rear bushings offer improved kink protection to the associated cable.

powerCON XX series connectors carry IEC EN 60320-1 / UL 60320-1 / CSA C22.2 No. 60320-1 certifications suitable to cordsets and devices certified to IEC 60799, UL817, and IEC / UL 62368-1. Unique to Neutrik, these new powerCON cable connectors are rated for circuit breaking capacity (CBC) when mated to powerCON XX series receptacles NAC3FXXA(B).

speakON XX series connectors are certified to IEC 61984, UL 1977, and CSA C22.2 No.182.3 with current rated to 37 A RMS. Additionally, new brown coloring on the connectors indicates 2-pole speakON; green coloring indicates 4-pole speakON.

The new connectors are available in both -S variants for smaller cable (6-12 mm) and -L variants for larger cable (10-16 mm OD). Certified power cable combinations (SJOOW 16/3, SOOW 12/3, etc.) are shown on the Neutrik website for each new powerCON cable connector.

Fred Morgenstern, VP Technology of Neutrik Americas, says, “This is an exciting, once-in-a-generation upgrade to these popular cable connectors. The inclusion of breaking capacity for the powerCON cable connectors in conjunction with Neutrik’s current chassis connectors is a major development. Until now, most users thought that it would be impossible to achieve, but the brilliant engineers at Neutrik’s headquarters in Liechtenstein figured it out.

“The new connectors are both beautiful and a pleasure to assemble and use. They place Neutrik far ahead of the competition. I’m so proud to be associated to a company with such talented engineers and industrial designers. Our users will be thrilled to work with these new connectors over the coming months and years.”

The new Neutrik powerCON blue/grey and speakON 2- and 4-pole connectors are available for ordering now.
