Mogami GOLD-DB25-XLRF-05 8-Channel DB25 to XLRF Cable

The Mogami GOLD-DB25-XLRF-05 is a 5-foot analog breakout snake that routes eight channels between a DB25-equipped recording interface or patchbay and eight female XLR connections. It consolidates multiple balanced analog paths into one organized cable run. This makes it useful where equipment uses the common analog DB25 interface format.

This cable is intended for studio systems, recording interfaces, consoles, outboard gear, and patchbay installations that need eight analog channels at once. Its DB25 male connector uses locking thumb screws, while the fanout terminates in eight 3-pin female XLR connectors. Confirm both the connector gender and the analog DB25 pinout of the connected equipment before ordering.

Built with Mogami W2932 eight-channel multicore cable, this assembly uses individually shielded pairs to support orderly multichannel analog signal routing. The cable construction includes XLPE insulation, a spiral shield, and drain wire for each channel. These features are designed for controlled studio wiring where cable organization and signal isolation matter.

Gold-contact XLR female connectors and a metal DB25 shell provide durable connection points for repeated studio use. The DB25 connector includes extended metal thumb screws for hand-tightened installation. A Techflex-protected fanout helps protect the individual XLR tails where the main cable separates into separate channels.

The 5-foot length is suited to short runs between adjacent rack equipment, patchbays, and console I/O. It can carry eight analog channels in either direction, depending on the connected equipment and signal flow. It is a cable assembly only and does not add inputs, outputs, amplification, or audio conversion.

Key Features

• Eight Analog Channels: Routes eight balanced analog signal paths through one DB25-to-XLR fanout.
• DB25-to-XLR Female Format: Provides one locking DB25 male connector and eight 3-pin female XLR connectors.
• 5-Foot Length: Fits short equipment-to-patchbay or rack-to-rack cable runs.
• Mogami W2932 Cable: Uses an eight-channel multicore cable with individually shielded pairs.
• Gold-Contact XLRs: Uses gold-contact female XLR connectors for the fanout ends.
• Metal DB25 Hardware: Includes a rugged metal D-sub shell and hand-grip thumb screws.

Design & Installation

The cable uses Mogami W2932 multicore snake cable with 26 AWG conductors, XLPE insulation, flexible PVC jacketing, drain wires, and served spiral shielding. Its main cable section has an approximately 11.5 mm outer diameter, while the individual fanout channels are protected with a braided Techflex sleeve. The black finish and numbered channel identification support tidy studio cable management.

Connect the locking DB25 male end to equipment with a compatible analog DB25 port, then connect the eight female XLR ends to corresponding male XLR connections. Tighten the DB25 thumb screws by hand and avoid placing strain on the fanout transition. This cable is wired to the industry-standard analog DB25 pinout, but the connected equipment should be checked for pinout compatibility before installation.
