DMX Cable Preparation
Step 1:
Cut cable (if necessary) so that an
8” (20.3cm) tail extends from the edge
of the box.
Step 2:
Strip 7” (17.8cm) of the outer jacket
off.
Step 3:
Label the cable with the data type and
run designation. (DMX1, DMX2, etc.)
Step 4:
Strip the foil shielding from each wire
set back to within 1/4” (6.3mm) of the
outer jacket.
Step 5:
Untwist the shield wire from each pair
and apply a piece of 1/16” (1.5mm)
clear heat shrink to each shield wire.
Step 6:
Twist each shield wire back onto its data
pair, then apply a 1.5” (38mm) piece of
3/16” (4.8mm) heat shrink all the way
down each 3-wire set. Make sure to
capture the foil shielding at the base.
Step 7:
Apply the 2” (51mm) of the 3/
8” (9.5mm) heat shrink centered on the
end of the cable jacket and the bases of
all the wires in the cable.
Step 8:
Cap the ends of the unused pair of wires
with a 1” (25.4mm) of 3/16” (4.8mm)
heat shrink centered over the end of the
wires.
Step 9:
Strip 3/16” (4.8mm) of insulation off all
of the wires to be used.
Step 10: Maintain the wire pair twist going as close to the connector as possible and terminate
the wires as required.
Step 11: Bend back the unused set of wires.
Step 12: Secure the unused set of wires to the cable with a wire tie.
Step 13: Secure the terminated wire set(s) together with a wire tie 2” (51mm) from the
connector.
Note:
In the case of two wires landing at the same terminal, strip both wires to 3/4”
(19mm), twist them together tightly and then trim them to 3/16” (4.8mm).
