Its robust construction is designed to withstand the demands of intensive use on tours, rentals, and stage setups, ensuring consistent performance night after night.
Main Features
-
Neutrik 5-Pin Connectors: Equipped with male and female 5-pin XLR connectors from the prestigious Neutrik brand. These connectors are recognized worldwide for their durability, secure fit, and excellent conductivity, preventing accidental disconnections and signal loss.
-
Professional Double Shielding: The cable features a double shielding system consisting of an aluminum foil and a braided copper mesh. This design effectively protects the digital signal against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), ensuring clean and error-free data transmission.
-
Standards Compliance: The cable is designed in accordance with EIA 485 and DMX512 standards, ensuring a characteristic impedance of 110 ohms. This makes it fully compatible with all professional DMX equipment.
-
Robust Construction: Its flexible yet tough PVC outer cover protects the internal conductors from abrasion, pulling and general wear and tear from stage use, while also facilitating convenient handling and winding.
-
Customization: Includes clear heat shrink sleeves on both ends, allowing technicians to add custom labels for easy identification on complex assemblies.

Use Cases
This cable is the ideal choice for a wide variety of professional applications, including:
- Connection between lighting consoles and the first luminaire in a DMX chain.
- Interconnection of moving heads, scanners, LED bars and other intelligent lighting effects.
- Use in theaters, television studios, concerts, festivals and corporate events.
- Architectural lighting systems and fixed installations where long-term reliability is paramount.
- Applications that require the use of the 5 pins for secondary data transmission or RDM (Remote Device Management).
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between a 3-pin and a 5-pin DMX cable?
- Although most DMX equipment uses only 3 pins for standard data transmission, the official DMX512 standard specifies a 5-pin connector. The two additional pins are reserved for a second data line or for advanced features such as RDM. A 5-pin cable like this ensures maximum compatibility with all equipment and future technologies.
- Can I use a standard XLR microphone cable instead of a DMX cable?
- It is not recommended. Microphone cables have a different impedance (typically 75 ohms) than DMX cables (110 ohms). Using the wrong cable can cause signal reflection, data errors, and unpredictable lighting behavior, especially in long strings.
- Why are Neutrik connectors important?
- Neutrik connectors are the industry standard for their robustness, reliable locking mechanism and high-quality materials that guarantee a safe and durable electrical and mechanical connection, minimizing failures due to false contacts.
