Neutrik Americas NC5FDX-TOP 5-pin Female Xlr Receptacle

Product Description

The NEUTRIK AMERICAS NC5FDX-TOP is a 5-pin female XLR receptacle designed for top-entry panel mounting in professional audio and signal wiring applications. This connector accepts a standard 5-pin XLR male plug and provides a secure, low-resistance termination point for balanced audio, DMX lighting control, or multi-channel signal lines. The top-entry configuration orients the cable exit perpendicular to the panel face, which suits enclosures where horizontal cable routing is required. Electricians and AV installation technicians typically specify this receptacle for rack panels, stage boxes, and equipment enclosures.

This receptacle fits residential and commercial installation scenarios wherever 5-pin XLR connectivity is required. Common applications include DMX512 lighting control systems, professional audio consoles, stage and touring equipment, and fixed AV infrastructure in commercial venues. The top-entry design is particularly useful in shallow enclosures or rack-mount panels where rear clearance is limited and a straight-exit connector would conflict with adjacent wiring or structure.
