Hosa EBU-050 AES/EBU Digital Audio Cable — 110-Ohm XLR3F to XLR3M, 50ft
EBU-050 Overview
The Hosa EBU-050 is a 50-foot AES/EBU digital audio cable built to the AES3 standard, delivering a true 110-ohm characteristic impedance that standard microphone cables cannot provide. This impedance match is essential for preventing signal reflections and timing errors that degrade clocking integrity in digital audio systems. Terminated with XLR3F to XLR3M connectors and shielded with a high-density OFC braided shield, the EBU-050 is suited for studio interconnects, live sound digital signal chains, and DMX512 lighting control applications. Audio engineers, system integrators, and touring production teams will find it a dependable choice for any application requiring accurate digital data transfer.
The cable’s genuine XLR connectors incorporate internal strain relief, providing durability for both permanent installations and road use, while the OFC braid construction rejects EMI and RFI interference common in dense rack environments and touring rigs.
Key Features
- True 110-Ohm Impedance — Meets AES3 standard requirements, preventing signal reflections and jitter between digital interfaces, converters, and monitors
- 24 AWG x 2 OFC Conductors — Oxygen-free copper construction ensures low-resistance signal transfer across the full 50-foot run
- High-Density OFC Braided Shield — Rejects EMI and RFI interference in crowded studio racks and live touring environments
- XLR3F to XLR3M Termination — Industry-standard connectors compatible with professional digital audio interfaces, consoles, converters, and processors
- Internal Strain Relief — Genuine XLR connectors with strain relief extend cable lifespan under repeated connection and disconnection cycles
- DMX512 Compatible — Meets electrical requirements for DMX512 lighting control, adding versatility for production and integration applications
- AES/EBU (AES3) Interface — Optimized for digital audio applications including interface-to-converter connections, digital console-to-processor runs, and direct digital feeds to monitor speakers with digital inputs
