Carry microphone-level audio across a short 3 ft run between equipment using complementary XLR connections. The cable has an XLR female connector at one end and an XLR male connector at the other, matching connector genders commonly used on microphones and audio input equipment. Its short length keeps equipment close together without routing a longer cable coil. Use Western Digital VX50-1-SF-IJ where a microphone, patch point, preamplifier, mixer, or other XLR-equipped component needs a direct short connection. Check the connector genders on both endpoints before installation: this cable presents one female end and one male end rather than two matching ends. The 3 ft length suits desk, rack, lectern, and small audio-control positions where the connected devices are adjacent. This configuration is defined by its XLR female-to-XLR male termination and 3 ft cable length. Select it when those two physical requirements match the connection path; installations requiring a different length or connector arrangement need a different cable configuration. Keep bend radius and cable routing appropriate for the installation so the connectors remain accessible and strain is not placed on the cable ends during service.
