Frequently Asked Questions
What does the IP65 rating mean?
The IP65 rating indicates that the product is completely protected against dust ingress (the number 6) and can withstand low-pressure water jets from any direction (the number 5). This makes it suitable for outdoor use and humid environments.
Can I use this cable for audio, as if it were a microphone cable?
Although the 3-pin XLR connectors are the same, DMX cables and microphone cables have different impedances. A DMX cable has an impedance of 110 ohms, while an audio cable typically has a lower impedance. Using a DMX cable for audio might work over short distances, but it's not recommended for optimal sound quality. For DMX signal transmission, it's essential to use a dedicated cable like this one to avoid malfunctions.
Does the cable's flexibility affect its durability?
On the contrary, flexibility is designed to increase durability. A flexible cable is less prone to internal damage to the conductors when bent or coiled, preventing the formation of kinks that can disrupt the signal and shorten the cable's lifespan.
