    Commonly used for movie, stage, and interior building lighting, these cords connect to equipment with five-pin XLR5 connections. The plug and socket lock onto their mate, so they won’t accidentally unplug. With a layer of foil shielding and a braided pair of wires, these cords block signal interference from nearby devices. To protect the inner wires from damage, they have a polyurethane jacket.

    Shielded Ethernet Cords

    The shielding on these cords blocks signal interference from nearby equipment and devices. They send data between computers, printers, servers, and switches. For faster data transmission speeds, choose a cord with a higher ethernet cable category. They’re backward compatible, so they work in networks that meet the same or a lower category.

    Image of Product. Front orientation. HDMI Cords. Duct-Rated HDMI Video Cords.
    Run high-definition signals through duct, above drop ceilings, and below raised floors without using conduit. These cords are plenum rated, so their insulation resists fire and doesn’t produce smoke. Connect these cords to monitors, TVs, and projectors. Each end has both a standard HDMI plug and a micro-HDMI socket, so you can connect multiple devices to the cord at once. The plugs are gold plated to resist corrosion and maintain signals over time.
    Note: These cords only transmit signals in one direction. Ends are labeled “Source” or “Display” to help you install the cord.
