SAXLX-3 - Green 3 Foot XLR Patch Cable
The SAXLX-3 Green XLR patch cable delivers reliable balanced audio connections for studio racks, live sound setups, and lighting control systems. This 3-foot cable handles the short-run connections that keep professional audio systems organized and interference-free.
Built with 22-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors and comprehensive shielding, this cable maintains signal integrity across balanced connections. The heavy-duty rubber jacket withstands the daily wear of rack mounting, cable management, and frequent patching without compromising performance.
The 3-foot length makes it ideal for connecting mixers to equalizers, crossovers to amplifiers, or patching between rack-mounted processors. Standard 3-pin XLR male and female connectors ensure compatibility with professional audio gear and microphones. The bright green jacket provides instant visual identification in complex cable runs.
Perfect for musicians, DJs, sound engineers, broadcasters, recording studios, and churches. Whether you're connecting outboard gear in a recording studio or organizing a live sound system, these cables handle the critical short connections that tie your system together.
Each cable features male XLR to female XLR connectivity and arrives ready to integrate into your existing setup. The female connector attaches to your source output and the male connector attaches to your destination input. No additional adapters or connectors required.
Every SAXLX-3 cable includes Seismic Audio's one-year warranty and ships fast. Professional-grade construction at a price that works for working musicians and sound engineers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What equipment can I connect with this XLR patch cable?
This cable connects any gear with balanced XLR inputs and outputs, including mixers, equalizers, crossovers, amplifiers, compressors, and effects processors. It also works for microphone connections. The balanced design ensures clean signal transfer across professional audio equipment.
Why choose a 3-foot cable length for audio connections?
The 3-foot length is perfect for rack-mounted equipment where you need clean, organized connections without excess cable. It's long enough to route between rack spaces with proper cable management, but short enough to minimize signal path and keep your setup tidy. This length works well for patch bays, outboard gear connections, and nearby equipment linking.
Can this cable handle DMX lighting applications?
While this cable has the correct XLR connectors for DMX applications, it's not ideal for lighting control. Audio XLR cables typically use 75-ohm impedance while DMX systems require 120-ohm impedance. Using audio cables for DMX can cause signal reflections, data errors, and unreliable lighting operation, especially over longer runs. For critical DMX applications, use cables specifically designed for 120-ohm impedance. However, for temporary setups or short runs where proper DMX cable isn't available, this may work as an emergency solution.
How does the green color help in professional setups?
The bright green jacket provides instant visual identification in complex cable runs, making it easy to trace connections and organize different signal types. Many engineers use color coding to differentiate between audio channels, lighting control, or different zones in a system. The distinct color speeds up setup and troubleshooting.
Will this cable work for connecting microphones to mixers?
Absolutely. This cable provides the same balanced XLR connection as standard microphone cables, with male to female connectors that work between mics and mixer inputs. The 3-foot length is ideal for desktop recording setups, podcast stations, or situations where you need a shorter microphone cable for close-proximity recording.
