The blue Kopul 3000 Series XLR Male to Female Microphone Cable 20'is designed to be an extremely quiet and flexible cable that is ideal for the most demanding live sound and performance applications. The cable is engineered to be durable and provide protection against EMI, RFI, and static noise. While the cable's color-coding affords the ability to quickly differentiate between multiple connections onstage, it provides a pleasant aesthetic quality at the same time.

Premium Performance 3000 Series cables are made from 24-AWG OFC copper wire that's wrapped with PE insulation and a conductive PVC inner shield. A cotton-yarn inner layer helps reduce electrostatic and microphonic noise. The 95% dual-spiral shielding makes the cable resistant to EMI and RFI noise. The Neutrik XX silver connectors provide a high level of connectivity, and all the solder connections are shrink-wrapped for protection.

95% dual-spiral shielding offers protection from EMI and RFI noise

Twin conductive PVC inner shielding provides 100% coverage of the core conductor. It helps keep the cable's signal from radiating and affecting nearby cables and helps prevents external EMI from penetrating to the cable's core

24-AWG oxygen-free stranded copper inner core provides the best possible conductivity

Cotton yarn reduces electrostatic and microphonic noise

All solder points shrink-wrapped for protection

Neutrik XX silver connectors offer high conductivity

Caged type contact and improved ground contact

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does the length, 1' for example, include the connector or is it 1 foot of cable plus the connector. Doing some patching in the back of a rack and want to avoid gobs of extra cable but it needs to reach.

A: The length refers to the cable itself, not including connectors.

Q: 2. Is this cable CL2 Rated?

A: The manufacturer has not provided any information on CL2 rating for the Kopul Premium Performance 3000 Series Neutrik XLR Male to XLR Female Microphone Cable.

Q: 3. Are all 4 pins wired?

A: NO! The wire is 2 conductor, and only pins 1 & 4 are connected. Does not work as power/control cable for TigerTilt pan-tilt head. Disappointing!

Q: 4. Will this work for a XLR output of a mixer into a PC Aux input (Livestream HD31)?

A: I'm going to disagree with the first response. This patch chord is mini-jack to an XLR male (meaning output function). You can use the chord bring a signal from your PC to the mixer, but not vice versa. You want a mini-jack to XLR input (female) chord. There are many such chords available from B&H.

Q: 5. Can you tell me the outside diameter of the cable jacket?

A: The outside diameter (thickness) of the cable is approximately 6mm (0.24").

Q: 6. Does it come with a powercord?

A: No. The power for the mics comes from the camera on phantom power or the mic if it is wired up or a wireless/battery mic.

Q: 7. will this work with phantom power?

A: Yes. Kopul Premier Quad Pro 5000 cables can be used for any audio applications including those that require phantom power.

Q: 8. Can you "daisy chain" these extenders by connecting two male or two female extenders via Cat 5?

A: Each Kopul 4-Channel XLR Network Cable Extender only has a single RJ45 port, so they cannot be daisy chained.

Q: 9. Fixing the XLR gender being wrong with adapters, will these extenders pass audio in both directions on the Ethernet cable?

A: XLR is not de-facto a directional medium, which is to say that it's really just a set of three pins with copper wire in between. Audio can only flow one way from an XLR connector to another, but it doesn't actually matter which direction that is. So, if for some reason you have audio passing from male jack 1 of the Kopul 4-Channel XLR Network Cable Extender Kit to female jack 1, that will work fine. You just can't have audio flowing both ways at the same time between two connectors.

Q: 10. Is the given cable length the length between connectors?

A: The stated length of the Kopul Premium Performance 3000 Series XLR Male to XLR Female Microphone Cable (2', Black) is connector tip to connector tip as opposed to only the cable length in between.
