Nanlite Forza 5m 8-Pin Head Extension Cable

Overview

The Nanlite Forza 5m 8-Pin Head Extension Cable (CB-FZ-5) is a professional-grade connection cable designed to extend the distance between compatible Forza monolight heads and their corresponding control/power unit.

With a length of 5 metres, this cable provides additional flexibility when rigging lights in studio or on-location environments, allowing users to position the light head independently from the control unit for improved balance, accessibility, and cable management.

This cable is commonly used in place of, or in addition to, the standard head cable included with Forza lighting systems, making it a versatile solution for more complex lighting setups where extended reach is required.

Built for professional use, the CB-FZ-5 features secure locking multi-pin connectors to ensure stable signal and power transmission between the light head and control unit during production use.

It is designed for compatibility with the Nanlite Forza 200, 300, 300B, and 500 series, making it a standard accessory across the mid-to-high output Forza range.

This cable is widely used in film, broadcast, studio, and commercial production environments where reliable power distribution and flexible rigging are essential.
