Nicols STROB 3000 DMX, User Manual

Page: 14 / 18

Use shielded twisted-pair cable designed for RS-485 devices: standard microphone cables cannot
transmit control data reliably over long runs. 24 AWG cables are suitable for runs up to 300
meters. Use heavier gauge cable and/or an amplifier for longer runs.
