Power connections for stage, studio and live event rigs come in a range of plug and socket standards, from domestic Schuko and Powercon through to True1 and the CEE colour codes: blue single phase, red three phase, and ACL 110V yellow for split-phase distribution common in touring and film production. Converters bridge between these formats, while special cables cover configurations outside the standard ranges.
Together these subcategories provide the physical link between distribution units, dimmers, motors and other equipment on a production, allowing power to be routed safely across different voltages and phase arrangements. Selection depends on the connector type required at source and load, the current rating needed, and whether single or three phase supply is being distributed.
