Product overview
The NEUTRIK NC3FXX is a 3 pole female XLR cable connector with a nickel housing and silver contacts, from the NEUTRIK XX series.
The XX series is the next generation of the worldwide accepted standard of XLR cable connectors: the successor of the X series is more reliable, easier to assemble and improves contact integrity and cable strain relief. The rugged zinc diecast shell has a well protected internal thread, the boot with polyurethane gland protects against cable bending stresses, and coloured rings and boots are available for coding or identification. The cage design of the female contact gives low contact resistance, a solder barrier keeps solder out of the mating area and a solid metal latch is easier to handle.
