![news-100-kabel](https://www.sommercable.com/media/ca/5d/42/1708598062/news-100-kabel.jpg)
Like a perfect tailor-made suit ...
...our ready-made microphone, AES/EBU and DMX cables will fit your audio rental inventory. By using our large, fully modular assembly kit you can individually design your custom cable, individually selecting not only the color of the cable, but the color of rings and sleeves as well.

Different cable labeling options enable good theft
protection and easy recognition of cable lengths
by color markings, etc.
As extra options we also offer you:
- the ability to mark the jacket after the fact using labels slipped in under a transparent heat-shrink sleeve.
- the ability to label the XLR connector after the fact using a 6 mm / 1/4“ sticker under a transparent ring. (Last two letters of product code will then be TR.)
A third option is printing your logo or company name directly on the cable
jacket itself.
A fourth option, available from a certain purchase quanity, is printing your
message on the cable velcro strap.
Order processing for the individual cables listed below is only possible via our support team. You can reach them at support@sommercable.com or by telephone on +49 (0) 7082 / 49133 - 10.
