PD-Connex RX52 - Professional 120 Ohm DMX Cable on a 100m Reel

PD-Connex RX52 - Professional 120 Ohm DMX Cable on a 100m Reel

The PD-Connex RX52 is a professional DMX signal cable, specifically designed to meet the demanding needs of lighting systems in professional environments. Presented on a convenient 100-meter reel, this cable is the ideal solution for installers, rental companies, and event technicians requiring reliable, stable, and interference-free DMX512 signal transmission. Its high-quality construction ensures that every command from the lighting console is executed precisely by the equipment, eliminating common problems such as flickering or control failures.

Built to last, the RX52 features a flexible yet robust PVC outer jacket just 4 mm in diameter. This compact design makes it easy to handle and conceal in any setup, from stages and tours to permanent architectural installations. The cable's flexibility allows for easy routing through trusses and complex structures, while its durability protects the internal conductors from wear and tear associated with heavy use, ensuring a long lifespan and consistent performance.

Main features

• Reliable DMX Transmission: Designed specifically for the DMX512 protocol, ensuring accurate data communication between the console and lighting devices.
• Characteristic Impedance of 120 Ohms: Meets the standard for DMX cables, minimizing signal reflection and data loss, ensuring error-free control even over long runs.
• High Quality Copper Conductors: Each of the two conductors is made up of 18 copper strands of 0.12 mm (0.22mm² cross-section), providing excellent conductivity and flexibility.
• Flexible and Durable Cover: Its black PVC coating with an outer diameter of 4 mm offers great resistance to abrasion and pulling, while being flexible enough for tangle-free installation and removal.
• 100 Meter Reel Format: Ideal for creating custom cables with the exact length needed for each application, optimizing assembly and reducing clutter.

Benefits for Lighting and Event Professionals

Using PD-Connex RX52 cable translates into complete peace of mind during any production. The signal integrity it provides eliminates uncertainty and allows lighting designers and operators to focus on the show, knowing that the equipment response will be instantaneous and precise. Its reel format offers unparalleled versatility, allowing for customization of each connection for a clean, professional finish, avoiding excess cable and potential sources of failure.

Use cases

This cable is the perfect choice for a wide variety of professional applications, including:

• Fixed installations in theaters, auditoriums, television studios and concert halls.
• Companies that rent audiovisual equipment for tours, festivals and corporate events.
• Connecting complex lighting systems, including moving heads, LED spotlights, dimmers, and effects machines.
• Architectural lighting projects that require custom and reliable wiring.
• Mobile DJs and small production companies looking for durable, high-performance cabling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a standard microphone cable (XLR) instead of this DMX cable?

It is not recommended. Although both can use XLR connectors, microphone cables have a different impedance (typically 75 ohms) than DMX cables (120 ohms). Using the wrong cable can cause signal reflection, data errors, and unreliable operation of lighting equipment, especially in long chains.

Does the cable come with connectors already installed?

No, the RX52 is supplied as a 100-meter reel of cable without connectors. This allows you to cut the exact lengths you need and solder your own 3-pin or 5-pin XLR connectors according to your equipment requirements.

Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?

This cable is designed primarily for indoor use. Although its robust PVC jacket may withstand temporary outdoor use under controlled conditions, it is not rated for prolonged exposure to the elements, moisture, or direct sunlight.
