DJ Cable Hiders & Booth Cable Management
A cable hider is a molded shell that drops over the back of a CDJ, mixer or all-in-one and routes every lead through one channel, so the booth reads clean and the connectors stay protected. Cut per model in Germany, in standard and XXL depths, plus sunshields that also shade the screen.

What is a cable hider?
It is a rigid cover for the back of a DJ player or mixer. The connector panel and the cable tails sit inside the shell, and every lead leaves through one integrated channel instead of fanning out across the booth. That is the whole idea: the front of the booth looks finished, and the connectors underneath are protected from cable movement, accidental unplugging and the light splashes that happen at a busy bar. It is not an adhesive cord raceway for a wall or a desk, and it is not a dust cover.
Standard or XXL: which depth do I need?
Depth is the only difference between the two cover ranges. Width, height and fit are identical.
| Depth | Standard cover | XXL cover |
|---|---|---|
| Front to back | 6.10 in (155 mm) | 8.86 in (225 mm) |
| Hides connectors and cable tails | Yes | Yes |
| Room for a power strip or network switch | No | Yes |
| Best for | A mobile rig you strike every night | A fixed install, a rental booth or a festival stage |
Take the standard if the only thing you need gone is the cable mess. Take the XXL if the distribution gear has nowhere else to live and currently sits on the floor behind the booth.
Should I buy a sunshield instead?
Buy a sunshield if you play daylight or high-glare rooms. A sunshield does both jobs: it stands roughly 11 to 13 in (290 to 335 mm) tall to shade the display, against the 3.54 in (90 mm) of a plain cover, and it carries the same integrated cable channel underneath. If the screen is already readable in your rooms, the plain cover is the cheaper way to get the cable management.
Will one fit my player?
Only if it is cut for that model. The shell has to sit flush against a specific rear panel, so a cover for a different player will not seat correctly. Zero Cable currently covers these:
- AlphaTheta: CDJ-3000X, XDJ-AZ, XDJ-RX3
- Pioneer DJ players: CDJ-3000, CDJ-2000, CDJ-900, DJS-1000
- Pioneer DJ mixers: DJM-A9, DJM-V10, DJM-V5, DJM-900, DJM-S11, DJM-S9, DJM-S7
- Two-player booths: double sunshields spanning 2x CDJ-3000X, CDJ-3000 or CDJ-2000
Can I put my logo on it?
Yes. The top panel is flat, matte black and unbranded, which is why rental companies and venues use it for an asset tag, a venue logo or an artist name. It takes vinyl or a printed decal.
What are they made of?
ABS with a premium acrylic face, manufactured in Germany. They drop on and lift off with no tools, so they do not slow down a changeover. The gear shown in the product photos is never included — you are buying the cover or sunshield only.
