5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors.

 

Some manufactures use 5-pin DMX-

512 data cables for DATA transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-pin DMX  

fixtures may be implemented in a 3-pin DMX line. When inserting stan-

dard 5-pin data cables in to a 3-pin line a cable adaptor must be used, 

these adaptors are readily available at most electric stores. The chart 

below details a proper cable conversion.

lighting stores). Your cables should be made with a male and female 

XLR connector on either end of the cable. Also remember that DMX 

cable must be daisy chained and cannot be split.

Notice:

 Be sure to follow figures two and three when making your own 

cables. Do not use the ground lug on the XLR connector. Do not con-

nect the cable’s shield conductor to the ground lug or allow the shield 

conductor to come in contact with the XLR’s outer casing. Grounding 

the shield could cause a short circuit and erratic behavior.

Special Note: Line Termination.

 

When longer runs of cable are 

used, you may need to use a terminator on the last unit to avoid erratic 

behavior. A terminator is a 110-120 ohm 1/4 watt resistor which is con-

nected between pins 2 and 3 of a male XLR connector (DATA + and 

DATA -). This unit is inserted in the female XLR connector of the last 

unit in your daisy chain to terminate the line. Using a cable terminator 

(ADJ part number Z-DMX/T) will decrease the possibilities of erratic 

behavior.
