Built for professional AV environments
These ProAV accessories support consistent, low-loss connections across signal types. 75 Ohm BNC feedthrough receptacles ensure video integrity for HD-SDI/3G-SDI infrastructure. PowerCON couplers provide secure, locking AC power connectivity for staging and fixed installs. XLR 3-pin remains the standard for balanced audio, while 4-pin and 5-pin options cover intercom, control, and lighting protocols. RCA and 3.5 mm plugs cover device I/O and program feeds where consumer and professional interfaces meet.

Specification and selection guidance

  • Choose 75 Ohm BNC D-style, isolated when mounting to metal panels to reduce ground loops
  • Select gold-contact variants in high-humidity or high-use environments to help resist oxidation
  • Use right-angle XLR in shallow racks, floor pockets, and wall plates to reduce strain and preserve bend radius
  • Color-code RCA (black/red/white) for quick channel identification during service
  • Match powerCON NAC3FCA/NAC3FCB couplers where locking AC power is required in Pro AV applications

Consistency that reduces rework
Every component in this category is selected to help installers terminate quickly and reliably. Mechanical strain relief, secure locking mechanisms, and proven materials support day-to-day field work and long-term maintenance. Clear labeling and lifecycle notes (including discontinued-to-replacement callouts) make documentation and future upgrades easier across multi-site rollouts.

  • Space management — Right‑angle XLR options support shallow racks, wall plates, and floor boxes; compact feedthroughs enable dense patch panels.
  • Identification — Finish and color options (e.g., black/gold, nickel/silver, red/white/black RCA) help standardize labeling and reduce errors in complex AV systems.

Typical AV workflows supported

  1. Rack build and commissioning — Populate D‑style panels with BNC, XLR, RCA, and 3.5 mm connectors; use powerCON couplers for secure equipment power distribution.
  2. Field deployment — Terminate XLRs, 1/4 inch, and RCA on site for custom lengths and clean stage runs; leverage right‑angle connectors in podiums and media carts.
  3. Operations and maintenance — Isolated feedthroughs and standardized parts simplify troubleshooting, spares, and long‑term service in commercial AV installations.

Integrating with Windy City Wire workflows
To streamline installation and ongoing management, pair these Neutrik connectors with Windy City Wire solutions where helpful. SmartWire labeling can improve device‑to‑panel traceability for faster commissioning and troubleshooting. RackPacks kitting helps stage the exact connectors and accessories needed for each rack or room, reducing trips and setup time for AV integrators.

Frequently Asked Questions: Neutrik®

  • Are Neutrik powerCON couplers (NAC3FCA to NAC3FCB) compatible with my existing power cables, and can I disconnect them under load?

    Yes. The coupler is designed to mate a powerCON A (NAC3FCA) to a powerCON B (NAC3FCB) for inline extensions or panel pass-throughs commonly used in ProAV power distribution. It is not intermateable with powerCON TRUE1 series. Original A/B powerCON connectors are not breaking-capacity devices—always de-energize before connecting or disconnecting and follow local electrical codes.

  • What does “BNC D-size feedthrough, isolated, 75 Ohm” mean, and when should I use it?

    “D-size” indicates the standard Neutrik D-series panel cutout, simplifying rack and panel mounting. “Feedthrough” is a female-to-female passthrough for quick panel terminations. “Isolated” means the connector is insulated from the chassis to help prevent ground loops. “75 Ohm” is the correct impedance for broadcast video (SDI, CCTV, etc.). Choose finishes like nickel or black/gold for the look and corrosion performance you need, and pair with 75 Ohm BNC cables for best signal integrity.

  • How do I choose among Neutrik X/XF/XX series XLR, REAN RCA/3.5 mm, and 1/4" PX plugs, and what do the pin counts and platings mean?

    Use 3-pin XLR for balanced audio, 4-pin for intercom or DC power, and 5-pin for lighting control (DMX512). The XX series is the current Neutrik XLR platform with improved strain relief; right-angle options help in tight racks. Plating: black/gold contacts offer excellent corrosion resistance and low contact resistance; nickel/silver is rugged and cost-effective. For unbalanced consumer I/O, REAN RCA plugs with gold contacts are available in black/red/white for easy channel ID, and REAN 3.5 mm stereo handles aux feeds. The 1/4" mono PX series suits TS instrument and unbalanced patching. If you encounter discontinued items, typical replacements include NC3MXX-BAG for 3-pin XLR cable ends and NL4FXX-W-L or NL4FXX-W-S for legacy 4-pole speakON parts—confirm the exact part match before ordering.
