DMX-512 connection with DMX terminator
For installations where the DMX cable has to run a long distance or is in an electrically
noisy environment, such as in a discotheque, it is recommended to use a DMX terminator.
This helps in preventing corruption of the digital control signal by electrical noise. The
DMX terminator is simply an XLR plug with a 120 Ω resistor connected between pins 2
and 3,which is then plugged into the output XLR socket of the last fixture in the chain.
Please see illustrations below.
