All of these new airtight connectors are IP65-rated for weather resistance when mated to REAN Z Series cable connectors, as well as when unmated and sealed using their integrated protection caps.
The connectors are constructed from UL94 V-0–rated materials to meet all modern safety standards, and they incorporate rugged, black, diecast zinc shells for minimal reflection when used onstage.
Connectors are available in single-bag packaging or bulk packaging for OEMs and are rated for more than 1000 mating cycles.
