In short: The Motion Labs 19 Pin Overmolded Multicable is a 6-circuit lighting multicable on 12/14 AWM cable rated 600V and 90°C. Both ends have Phase 3 brand VSC compatible 19 pin circular connectors, the multipin format many crews call Socapex or Soca, backed by a 10-year warranty from Phase 3. The connectors have aluminium bodies and a bonded ground ring on pins 13 to 18. A rubberised overmold replaces the metal backshell for stronger strain relief. This 100 ft length (part number 1410-02-33-01-003) weighs 56 lb and has 6 in of clear heat shrink on each end for labels.
Why overmolded
On a standard mechanical 19 pin connector, every pull, flex and twist works on the terminations. Over time the conductors get stressed, the insert can loosen and spin, and you end up with pushed-back pins and hot spots. Motion Labs overmolds the connector and cable into one piece, which takes that stress off the pins.
Motion Labs uses Phase 3 brand 19 pin connectors, backed by a 10-year warranty. They are VSC compatible, UL/CSA certified and have aluminium bodies with crimp or solder termination.
A rubberised overmold replaces the metal backshell and resists pull, flex and twist, holding the connector and cable together as one piece.
Overmolding removes torsion between the cable and connector, which Motion Labs says reduces the risk of burnt or pushed-back pins, shorts and hot spots.
An injected polymer first encapsulates the conductors and pins or sockets. A rubberised outer layer is then molded over the whole assembly.
The ground pins, 13 to 18, are bonded together at the connector with a ground ring.
6 in of clear heat shrink on each end gives you a protected spot for cable labels and inventory tags.
On set & on show
One 19 pin multicable carries six circuits, replacing six separate cables. Lighting and production crews and rental houses use it for:
Using it well
The connectors are UL/CSA certified, but the 12/14 AWM cable is not UL listed. Check that it meets your venue's and jurisdiction's requirements before use.

Questions
It is a 6-circuit lighting multicable on 12/14 AWM cable rated 600V and 90°C, with Phase 3 brand VSC compatible 19 pin circular connectors on both ends. The connectors have aluminium bodies, a bonded ground ring on pins 13 to 18 and an overmolded rubberised strain relief. The 100 ft length weighs 56 lb.
It uses Phase 3 brand 19 pin circular connectors, backed by a 10-year warranty from Phase 3. They are VSC compatible and UL/CSA certified, with aluminium bodies and crimp or solder termination.
12/14 means 12 AWG conductors with 14 conductors in the cable. AWM stands for Appliance Wiring Material, a UL cable category. This cable is rated 600V and 90°C.
Socapex is a brand name that many crews use for the 19 pin multipin connector format, often shortened to Soca. The Motion Labs multicable uses VSC compatible 19 pin circular connectors in this format.
A 19 pin multicable carries six circuits. In common wiring, pins 1 to 6 are hots, pins 7 to 12 are neutrals and pins 13 to 18 are grounds. On this cable, ground pins 13 to 18 are bonded together with a ground ring.
The 19 pin connectors are UL/CSA certified, but the 12/14 AWM cable is not UL listed. Check that it meets your venue's and jurisdiction's requirements before use.
On a mechanical connector, conductors can get stressed at the terminations and the insert can loosen and spin. Overmolding locks the cable and connector together, which Motion Labs says improves shock absorption, pull strength and flex relief and reduces the risk of burnt or pushed-back pins, shorts and hot spots.
Motion Labs makes it in 25, 50, 75, 100, 125 and 150 ft lengths, weighing from 14 lb for 25 ft to 84 lb for 150 ft. The 100 ft length weighs 56 lb.
Test continuity and pin-out before each job. Motion Labs makes the CT-004 touchscreen cable tester for checking 19 pin cables.
