Cable EUROLITE DMX P-Con to 5‑pin XLR, model 30227781, 1.5 m length

EUROLITE model 30227781 is a combined DMX signal cable that connects equipment with a P-Con connector to devices using a 5‑pin XLR. At 1.5 m length, this cable is intended for short patching runs where space is limited, providing a straightforward DMX512-compatible connection between controllers, dimmers and fixtures in live event and installation environments.

Advantages

The cable offers a compact length that reduces excess cabling on rigs and in control racks while maintaining the shielding and conductor arrangement required for reliable DMX signal transmission. The mixed-connector configuration removes the need for adapters in setups where source and receiver connectors differ. Durable connector housings and strain reliefs help preserve contact integrity during repeated use and handling.

Suitable for

• Patching between a lighting controller with P-Con output and a fixture or dimmer with 5‑pin XLR input
• Short runs on lighting trusses, stage floors, and control desks
• Temporary live events, touring setups and fixed installations needing compact DMX connections

Key specifications

• Cable type: DMX signal cable with mixed connectors (P-Con to 5‑pin XLR)
• Length: 1.5 m
• Connector A: P-Con
• Connector B: 5‑pin male/female XLR (as required for proper signal direction)
• Conductors and shielding: designed for DMX512 signal integrity
• Typical use environment: live events, stage installations, studio setups

How to use

Connect the P-Con end to the lighting controller or source device that provides the DMX output, and attach the 5‑pin XLR end to the female/male XLR input of the receiving fixture, dimmer or splitter, observing the correct signal flow. Ensure connectors are fully seated and that any locking mechanisms engage. For chain connections, follow the standard DMX512 daisy-chain topology and terminate the final device with an appropriate DMX terminator if required.

Usage recommendations

Use this 1.5 m cable for short patch runs to minimize cable clutter and maintain clear stage routing. Avoid sharp bends near connector ends and route the cable away from high-power mains runs to reduce electromagnetic interference. Inspect connector contacts periodically and replace the cable if shielding or connector housings become damaged.
