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.
