PowerCon (Blue/white) is indeed NOT rated for live disconnect, so yes, if possible, it would be prudent to use the fixture's power switch before disconnecting. On the other hand, True1 is, which is probably the main reason that most manufacturers are using it on all new lights, regardless fixtures intended IP rating.I thought I had seen/heard that the powercons are not rated to be made or unmade while power is on. Is that indeed true? My practice is to power down if doing so, frinstance during a focus to shift a fixture that would require unplugging. We do power down to make such changes. Others have shrugged and said they do not power down and it all seems to work fine. I could see short term happiness but long term still causing accumalative damage w/a little arcing each time. Just wondering what is true and what other folks' practices are. Thanks in advance for any insights.
I encountered one professional stagehand who didn't know one needs to twist TWIST-locks. It's right there in the name! But obviously this hand didn't know the name either....that did not know you have to twist cam locks. ...
Per my latest discussion with Neutrik, this issue has been resolved and the redesigned connectors are now in production. It will be a rolling launch, so they are now shipping.
@Jesse Alternately: You've invested insufficient time in the IA to date. Some call it nepotism; We call it tradition!I bought a male and female cable connector last week and I haven't been able to mismate them. I guess I must have some of the new design.
