DMX CABLE:<br />
Note:<br />
• When fabricating your own cables, always observe the illustrations on this page. Never connect the shielding<br />
of the cable to the ground contact of the plug, and always make certain that the shielding does not come into<br />
contact with the housing of the XLR plug. If the shielding is connected to ground, this can lead to short-circuiting<br />
and system malfunctions.<br />

Usual connection<br />
Please note: Termination:<br />
• With extended cable runs, the last device in the chain may require a terminating resistor in order to prevent<br />
system malfunctions.<br />
Use of a terminating resistor (termination)<br />
reduces interference and other problems during<br />
signal transmission. It is always advisable to<br />
connect a DMX termination module (resistance<br />
120 ohms, 1/4 W) between pole 2 (DMX-) and<br />
pole 3 (DMX+) of the last device in the chain.<br />
This is achieved by using a cable terminator module (Product No. K3DMXT3).<br />
DMX-512 input<br />
3-pole XLR<br />
• Some manufacturers use 5-pole versions for data transmission instead of 3-pole XLR plugs. However, devices<br />
with 5-pole XLR connectors can also be integrated in a DMX network with 3-pole XLR connectors. In this case,<br />
a suitable cable adapter is required. The following illustration shows the correct pin-out of the corresponding<br />
plugs.<br />
