DMX-512 Cables
DMX cables utilize 110ohm, twisted pair construction, surrounded by a
shield, and connected with industry standard XLR connectors. Industry
standard cables are available in 3-pin or 5-pin configurations. This fixture
utilizes the 3-pin type. While these cables appear virtually the same as
conventional microphone or balanced audio XLR cables, use of these
cables is not recommended as they may cause erratic intermittently
unreliable performance. Proper DMX cables are widely available at
professional audio dealers, and high quality Stellar Labs DMX cables are
available from MCM Electronics and its authorized dealers.
DMX-Connections
DMX controlled devices typically have input (male) and output (female)
connections. To connect multiple DMX devices to a chain, simply start at
the DMX controller or first DMX fixture output, then to the input of the
second device. Then connect the output of the second device, to the input
of the third, and so on until you reach the end of the chain. At the last
device, connect a DMX terminator to the output.
