Neutrik 5 Pin Male XLR Chassis Socket - NC5MD-L-1

How do we measure cables?

Please note that all measurements on our site are in metres, so if you need a 50cm cable the correct format that need to be used is 0.5 and if you need 15cm cable then the correct format should be 0.15.

We strongly recommend to double check the measurements before confirming your order, as we do not accept any returns on custom made cables, as per our T&C’s.

Single, twin and splitter cables

There are two ways that we use to measure single, twin and splitter cables.

If the length required is under 1m it will be measured as “visible cable”. For example, if you order a 70cm cable the total length will be 70cm of visible cable plus the connectors. Please note that there is a tolerance of +/- 2.5cm, so the visible cable can be slightly longer or slightly shorter. This is due to the fact that the amount of jacket removed in order to fit the connector can vary between the types.If the length required is 1m or more, we will cut the cable at that length and connectors will be then soldered on.

Looms

All our looms are measured end to end and include fly ends (tails). For example, if you order 5m XLR loom with 0.5m fly ends we will cut the cable at 5m. You will then receive a loom that has 4m of solid multicore in the middle and 0.5m tails on each end (including connectors).

Stage box systems

On box to box systems the cable length will be measured between cable entry points on the boxes and will include cable glands.On box to tails systems the cable length will be measured from the cable entry point on the box to the end of the fly end where connectors are terminated. Just like with looms we will include fly ends in the measurement, so please make sure that you take that into account when ordering.

Drums/Reels

For all drum systems we cut the cable at the total length ordered and then that cable is wrapped by hand onto a drum reel. Like with looms and stage box systems fly ends are included in the measurement.

Drum systems with front plate and chassis connectors will have 0.5m of the total length inside the drum for termination, the rest of the cable will be wrapped around the outside.Drum systems with a front cable wrap will have 1.5m of the total length wrapped around the face of the drum as standard and the rest of the cable will be wrapped around the drum. This however can be changed depending on preferences, so if you need a drum with longer or shorter front wrap please leave us a note at the checkout.

If you are not sure or have any questions about the measurements, please get in touch before placing your order to avoid any disappointments. You can either call us on or send an email to
