A cable designed to supply power from dimmers to multiple separate lighting instruments down a single multi-conductor cable. Standard multi-cables can carry the equivalent of 6 or 12 standard stage cables corresponding to the same number of circuits. A break-out is used at either end to break the multi cable apart into individual circuits. Multicables have the advantage of being much smaller than bundles of multiple stage cables.
