We offer the following cable types:
✔ 8-pin DIN to 8-pin DIN – Perfect for older B&O devices
✔ RJ45 to 8-pin DIN – Used with newer B&O products
✔ Adapter cables – To connect devices with different connector types (e.g., DIN to RJ45)

Powerlink is Bang & Olufsen's own standard for audio and control signal connection between products. It is used to ensure:
- Analog stereo audio (line-level)
- On/off signal (5V DC)
- Mute signal (control signal for audio muting)
- Data communication (in certain configurations)
Connector types
| Connector type |
Used for |
| 8-pin DIN |
Older B&O products and many BeoLab speakers |

Newer B&O products and Neo products |
Compatibility with Neo products
All Neo products – e.g. Neo Convert, Neo Radio, and Neo Avant – use Powerlink to integrate seamlessly with both older and new B&O products
✅ Direct signal transmission – no active conversion needed
✅ Compatible with both DIN and RJ45 Powerlink standards
✅ Designed to B&O's specifications for audio and control signals
Important: Not all RJ45 cables on the market are suitable as Powerlink cables. We exclusively use cables with correct wiring, shielding, and impedance that match B&O’s requirements.
Cable quality
NeoMester cables are:
- Shielded for low noise and high signal fidelity

MK2 vs. MK3 – what is the difference?
| Cable type |
Description |
| MK2 |
Has two separate shielded signal conductors (one for each channel – left and right). Suitable for most classic B&O setups. Very low noise and reliable.
|
| MK3 |
Has one common shielded signal pair (twisted pair). More compact and flexible. Mainly used in newer setups with RJ45 connectors. |
Both cable types provide excellent sound quality, but MK2 is often preferred for longer distances and more noise-sensitive environments, while MK3 is ideal for modern, space-optimized installations.
