Audibax Silver Black DMX 5P 5m - Black DMX cable with 5-pin XLR and 24K gold-plated contacts

The Audibax Silver Black DMX 5P 5m is a professional DMX signal cable designed for lighting and effects networks. It features 5-pin male-to-female XLR connectors with 24K gold-plated contacts to ensure a stable and durable connection, even in intensive rental and permanent installation setups. Its PVC jacket combines flexibility and durability, while the 5.4mm diameter and the meticulous construction of the Silver Black series promote clean, low-noise data transmission, ideal for moving heads, LED bars, dimmers, and DMX controllers.

At 5 meters long, this cable is perfect for runs between spotlights and for organizing data lines in small to medium-sized venues. The 5-pin connector conforms to the DMX standard (ANSI E1.11/DMX512-A), helping to avoid confusion with audio cables and ensuring compatibility with equipment that follows industry best practices. For maximum reliability in long runs or chains of multiple devices, use a DMX terminator at the end of the line, following the standard's best practices.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Why 5 pins and not 3? The connector specified by the DMX standard is the 5-pin XLR ; the use of 3 pins became popular in budget equipment, but it is not part of the standard connector. To avoid confusion with audio and ensure compatibility, 5 pins are recommended.
• Can I mix this cable with audio cables? It's not recommended. Microphone (audio) cables are not designed for DMX and can cause data errors on the DMX network.
• Do I need a DMX terminator? On long lines or with many devices, yes: place a terminator at the last device to stabilize communication.

Installation tips

• Respect the daisy-chain direction (DMX OUT → IN) and avoid passive “Y”s; use splitters when you need branching.
• Clearly identify the DMX line so as not to confuse it with XLR audio cables.
• Keep DMX cables separate from power to reduce interference.
