Overview
The Nanlite Forza 8-Pin DC Connection Cable (CB-FZ-7.5M) is a professional head extension cable designed to connect the light head to the control unit on high-output Nanlite Forza fixtures.
With a length of 7.5 metres (24.7 ft), this cable allows users to position the control unit further away from the light head, providing greater flexibility when rigging lights overhead, mounting fixtures on stands, or managing weight distribution in studio and on-location environments.
The cable features locking 8-pin aviation connectors, ensuring a secure and stable connection between the fixture and control unit during demanding production use.
Engineered for professional reliability, the cable incorporates:
• High-purity copper core for efficient power transmission
• Wired mesh and aluminium foil shielding to reduce interference
• Silica-gel outer coating for durability and flexibility
• Strengthened internal structure for improved tensile strength and longevity
This extended cable replaces the shorter standard head cable included with compatible fixtures, allowing for cleaner setups by keeping the control unit off the rig or further from microphones and talent.
The CB-FZ-7.5M is designed primarily for the Forza 720 and 720B, but is also compatible with other high-power Forza II series fixtures using the same 8-pin connection system.
It is an essential accessory for professional lighting setups where distance, rigging flexibility, and cable management are critical.
