PD-Connex RX50 - Professional DMX Cable 110 Ohms on 100m Reel

PD-Connex RX50 - Professional DMX Cable 110 Ohms on 100m Reel

The PD-Connex RX50 is a high-quality DMX signal cable, designed specifically for lighting and entertainment professionals. Presented on a convenient 100-meter reel, this two-conductor cable is the ultimate solution for ensuring reliable, stable, and interference-free DMX512 signal transmission in any environment, whether in fixed installations or mobile and touring applications.

Built to withstand the demands of professional use, the RX50 features a robust yet flexible 6mm diameter PVC outer jacket. This flexibility greatly facilitates handling and installation on stages, trusses, in theaters, or in studios, while its durability ensures a long lifespan. Its core is made of high-purity copper conductors that guarantee optimal conductivity, minimizing signal loss over long distances.

Main features

• 110 Ohm Impedance: Designed specifically for the DMX512 protocol, its characteristic impedance of 110 ohms ensures perfect signal integrity, eliminating data reflections that can cause flickering or erratic behavior in lighting equipment.
• High Quality Conductors: Each of the two internal conductors is composed of 20 copper strands of 0.12 mm (total cross-section of 0.22 mm²), providing excellent data transmission capacity.
• Superior Shielding: Incorporates a dense braided shield of 64 copper filaments of 0.12 mm, which offers exceptional protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), crucial in environments with multiple wireless and electrical equipment.
• Flexible and Durable Cover: The black PVC outer cover with a diameter of 6 mm not only protects the cable from mechanical damage, but also offers the flexibility needed for easy routing and tangle-free storage.
• Professional Format: Supplied on a 100-meter reel, ideal for rental companies, installers and technicians who need to create custom cables for large productions or permanent installations.

Product benefits

• Absolute Reliability in Control: Forget about signal failures. High-quality construction and effective shielding ensure that your commands from the lighting console reach each fixture accurately and without error.
• Consistent Professional Performance: Unlike microphone cables, the RX50 is optimized for DMX digital data transmission, resulting in a smooth and trouble-free light show.
• Durability for Heavy Use: Designed to withstand continuous assembly and disassembly, foot traffic, and general wear and tear associated with live events and tours.
• Resource Optimization: The 100-meter reel allows you to cut cables to the exact length you need, minimizing waste and optimizing your project budget.

Use cases

This cable is the ideal choice for a wide range of professional applications, including:

• Connection between DMX lighting consoles and dimmers, moving heads, LED spotlights and other effects.
• Fixed installations in theaters, concert halls, nightclubs, television studios and convention centers.
• Companies that rent audiovisual and entertainment equipment for their productions.
• Architectural lighting projects that require reliable DMX control.
• Stage setups and tours where equipment reliability is critical.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why can't I use a microphone cable (3-pin XLR) for DMX?
Although both use similar connectors, a microphone cable has an impedance of between 50 and 75 ohms. The DMX signal requires an impedance of 110 ohms for proper data transmission. Using a microphone cable can cause signal reflections, errors, and unreliable operation of the lights, especially in long strings.

Is this cable suitable for outdoor installations?
The PVC cover offers good protection against wear and moderate moisture, but it is not designed for permanent exposure to the elements or direct sunlight. For permanent outdoor installations, protective conduits are recommended.

Does the length of 100 meters affect the quality of the DMX signal?
The standard DMX512 protocol supports cable lengths of up to several hundred meters. Thanks to its high-quality construction, low capacitance, and correct impedance, this cable is designed to maintain excellent signal integrity along its entire length, ensuring reliable performance even in large venues.
