RapcoHorizon MIDI5-5 5' MIDI 5-Pin Active Cable

Professional Active MIDI Cable for Accurate Digital Connectivity

The RapcoHorizon MIDI5-5 is a 5-foot active 5-pin MIDI cable built for musicians, producers, and audio engineers who need dependable, interference-free data transfer between MIDI-enabled devices. Whether connecting a keyboard controller to a sound module, a DAW interface, or a lighting controller, this professional cable ensures every bit of digital information is transmitted accurately and consistently. Designed for clarity and precision, the MIDI5-5 delivers professional-grade reliability for both studio and live environments.

Designed for Precise and Consistent Signal Transmission

With four 24-gauge conductors, this cable guarantees smooth, uninterrupted data flow across every connection. The active circuitry inside enhances data strength and minimizes the risk of timing errors or signal loss—especially important when running multiple MIDI devices simultaneously. From studio setups to live performance rigs, the MIDI5-5 provides stable communication that ensures your equipment stays perfectly synchronized.

Superior Shielding for Noise-Free Operation

A key feature of the MIDI5-5 is its high-grade bare annealed copper serve shield, offering 95% coverage to block electromagnetic and radio frequency interference. This advanced shielding keeps your MIDI data clean, even when running near power cables, lighting rigs, or wireless transmitters. The result is a reliable connection that maintains data integrity, preventing performance disruptions caused by signal contamination or noise interference.

Durable and Flexible Design for Professional Use

Built with a rugged matte PVC jacket measuring 0.230 inches in outer diameter, this cable is engineered to withstand frequent coiling, transport, and use in demanding production environments. Despite its strength, the jacket remains flexible enough for easy routing behind equipment racks or across studio floors. The combination of flexibility and toughness ensures the MIDI5-5 maintains long-term performance under the pressure of daily professional use.

Optimized Electrical Performance for Reliable Data Flow

Engineered with precision specifications, the MIDI5-5 features a capacitance of 46 pF/ft. at 1 kHz, a conductor-to-shield capacitance of 57 pF/ft. at 1 kHz, and a nominal impedance of 44 ohms. These optimized values ensure smooth, low-latency communication between devices, allowing your MIDI setup to operate with perfect timing accuracy. Its DC resistance of just 23 ohms per 1000 feet ensures consistent electrical performance over time.

Ideal for Studio and Live MIDI Configurations

The 5-foot length of the MIDI5-5 makes it an excellent choice for short-distance connections within compact setups. It’s ideal for linking rack-mounted gear, MIDI interfaces, or tabletop controllers where minimal slack is needed. Whether you’re working in a home studio, a professional production environment, or on stage, this cable’s dependable construction and clean signal transfer make it an essential component for any MIDI workflow.

Built with RapcoHorizon’s Proven Quality Standards

RapcoHorizon has long been recognized for its reliable, high-performance cable designs used by professionals around the world. The MIDI5-5 continues that tradition by combining precision engineering with robust construction. Musicians, technicians, and engineers can trust this cable to perform consistently, session after session, providing the kind of reliability that only comes from decades of cable-building expertise.
