Elation Lighting ECCOM-6 6' Indoor-Outdoor General Purpose IEC Extension Cord

Elation ECCOM-6 — 6-Foot IEC Male to IEC Female Power Link Cable

The Elation ECCOM-6 is a 6-foot, 16 AWG, 3-wire black IEC power link cable from the Accu-Cable line, designed for daisy chaining AC power between IEC-equipped lighting fixtures in a production rig. With an IEC C14 male connector on one end and an IEC C13 female connector on the other, the ECCOM-6 connects from the IEC power output port of one fixture directly into the IEC power input of the next — extending the power chain along a truss, ground row, or lighting bar at the mid-short fixture spacing that the 3-foot ECCOM-3 cannot reach and the 10-foot ECCOM-10 would overshoot. Rated at 13 amps, 125 volts, and a maximum of 1,625 watts, and suitable for indoor and outdoor general-purpose professional use, the ECCOM-6 is the correct power link cable for fixture-to-fixture spacing of 4 to 6 feet — the range that covers a significant portion of real-world truss and ground row configurations where fixtures are spread for broader individual coverage zones rather than packed tightly for uniform wash. The black jacket maintains a clean, professional cable appearance on any rig, and the 16 AWG 3-wire grounded construction provides proper safety ground continuity through the power chain.

6 Feet — The Mid-Short IEC Power Link Length and When It Is the Right Specification

In the Accu-Cable ECCOM power link series, each length serves a specific range of fixture-to-fixture spacing. The ECCOM-3 handles 2 to 3-foot spacing for tightly packed fixture configurations. The ECCOM-6 covers 4 to 6-foot spacing — the configuration where individual fixtures are spread further apart to cover larger coverage zones, or where the IEC power output and input connectors on adjacent fixtures are positioned at opposite ends of larger fixture bodies, making the actual connector-to-connector distance greater than the center-to-center spacing suggests. On a truss where moving heads or larger LED fixtures are mounted with 5 to 6 feet between them, the ECCOM-6 reaches from the power output of one fixture to the power input of the next with just enough slack for the connectors to seat cleanly and accommodate minor fixture position adjustments without the excess cable loop that a 10-foot cable would leave. Having 3, 6, 10, and 15-foot cables as distinct inventory items gives the production crew or installation technician the precision to match the correct cable length to each position in the power chain rather than defaulting to a single length for every application.

IEC Power Daisy Chaining — Simplifying Fixture Power Distribution on Truss and Ground Rows

The power daisy chain approach that the ECCOM-6 supports is one of the most significant time-saving tools available in a production lighting setup. Rather than running a separate extension cord from the distro or power distribution panel back to each individual fixture on a truss or ground row, a single source cord feeds the first fixture and the ECCOM-6 cables pass power from fixture to fixture down the entire run. Eight fixtures on a truss that would otherwise require eight individual cord runs back to the distro can be served by one source cord and seven ECCOM cables — dramatically reducing the number of cords hanging from the truss to the floor, simplifying the connection at the distro, and cutting setup and strike time at every venue. The cables can remain connected to the fixtures between shows when the truss is stored or transported, meaning the entire power chain for a fixture run is pre-built and ready to connect at each new venue — a further load-in efficiency that touring productions and regularly deployed event rigs depend on.

Ground Prong and Safety Ground Continuity Through the Power Chain

The ECCOM-6's 3-wire grounded construction — line, neutral, and ground — maintains proper safety ground continuity from the source circuit through every fixture in the daisy chain. Each ECCOM-6 cable carries the ground conductor through the chain, ensuring that every fixture's chassis is connected to the building electrical system's ground path regardless of its position in the chain. This is the correct approach for any production power distribution system and the standard required for equipment with 3-prong IEC power inputs. The IEC C14 male and C13 female connectors are both 3-pin grounded configurations — compatible with all standard IEC-equipped production fixtures, audio equipment, and general electronics that use this connector standard — and the cable's 13-amp, 1,625-watt rating covers the individual and aggregate loads of the moderate-draw LED and production equipment it is designed to link.
