Frequently Asked Questions

What does the IP65 rating mean?
The IP (Ingress Protection) rating indicates the level of protection a device offers against the ingress of solids and liquids. The first digit, '6', means the cable is completely dustproof. The second digit, '5', indicates it is protected against low-pressure water jets from any direction, such as rain or splashes.

Can I use this DMX cable to connect a microphone?
Although both use 3-pin XLR connectors, it's not recommended. DMX cables have an impedance of 110-120 ohms, while microphone cables have a lower impedance. Using a DMX cable for audio can result in signal degradation, especially over long distances. Always use a dedicated microphone cable for audio.

Is it compatible with any DMX lighting equipment?
Yes, the PD-Connex CX104-1 uses the 3-pin XLR connector standard, which is the most common in the lighting and special effects industry, ensuring compatibility with the vast majority of DMX equipment on the market.

Does the length of 1.5 meters affect the quality of the DMX signal?
No, for a length as short as 1.5 meters, any potential signal degradation is completely negligible. The DMX signal will remain strong and stable, ensuring precise control of your equipment.
