Product Description

The NEUTRIK AMERICAS NC5FD-L-B-1 is a 5-pin female XLR D-series panel-mount connector featuring a black housing and gold-plated contacts. Designed for chassis and panel installation, this connector provides a reliable, low-resistance termination point for balanced audio and control signal wiring. The D-series form factor fits standard D-size cutouts, making it compatible with a wide range of stage boxes, rack panels, and equipment enclosures. Audio technicians, systems integrators, and AV installation professionals rely on this style of connector for permanent wiring applications where signal integrity and mechanical durability are priorities.

This connector is suited for permanent panel installations in professional audio, broadcast, and live sound environments. It accepts 5-conductor wiring, which is commonly used for intercom systems, DMX lighting control, and multi-channel balanced audio runs. The chassis-mount design means it is typically installed in rack enclosures, stage boxes, patch bays, and custom AV equipment panels where a fixed female receptacle is required on the panel face.
