Kentech SA005 3-Pin XLR Male to 3-Pin XLR Male Coupler Adapter

• Gender Inversion and Cable Extension: The Kentech SA005 is a professional-grade inline audio coupler engineered to quickly change an XLR female cable end or panel socket into an XLR male orientation, or to securely join two standard 3-pin female XLR cables together.
• Solid All-Metal Construction: Fabricated with a heavy-duty, die-cast nickel-plated metal outer housing that provides superior physical protection against drops, crushing, and bending compared to basic plastic alternatives.
• Precision-Machined Dual Male Plugs: Both 3-pin male XLR ends are machined to exact industry-standard tolerances, guaranteeing a tight, low-resistance interface that prevents intermediate popping, crackling, or signal dropouts inside equipment sockets.
• Shielded Low-Noise Shell: The all-metal body assembly acts as a continuous electrical shield, blocking nearby electromagnetic hum, ground loops, and radio frequency interference (RFI) from creeping into balanced mic or line-level audio signals.
• Robust Internal Pin Alignment: The internal contact pins are encased in a high-density, heat-resistant insulation block that keeps them perfectly aligned and prevents shifting during heavy-duty plug-and-unplug cycles.

Features

• Knurled Exterior Traction Ring: Features a raised, cross-hatched textured outer surface area to give installers maximum grip, making cable swaps fast and easy even on crowded patch panels or backstage environments.
• Space-Saving Solid Shell Layout: Built as a rigid, compact, single-piece adapter body without intermediate wire links, eliminating common cable-fraying failure points on stage floors or inside hardware frames.
• Corrosion-Protected Contacts: The entire connector core and matching contact pins are treated with a low-resistance anti-oxidization plating to ensure optimal metal-to-metal conductivity over years of field deployment.
• True Balanced Pass-Through: Preserves all three balanced signal paths (Pin 1: Ground, Pin 2: Positive/Hot, Pin 3: Negative/Cold) completely intact, maintaining full audio phase integrity.
• Plug-and-Play Simplicity: Requires no internal wiring adjustments or specialized assembly tools; simply snap it onto your existing cable lines to instantly invert your audio gear formats.
