DMX cable EUROLITE 30227785 P-Con to 5‑pin XLR, 5 m

The DMX cable EUROLITE 30227785 P-Con to 5‑pin XLR, 5 m is a purpose-built cable for connecting DMX lighting controllers to fixtures and dimmers. With a P-Con connector on one end and a 5‑pin XLR connector on the other, this 5-metre cable supports standard DMX512 signal transmission for temporary stage, studio, and event installations where a medium-length run is required. The cable is intended for internal use and for short-term outdoor setups when protected from prolonged exposure to weather.

Advantages

This EUROLITE DMX cable provides a stable electrical connection and consistent signal integrity over a 5 m length, reducing the risk of intermittent control issues. The use of a P-Con connector on one end allows compatibility with fixtures and controllers that adopt power-convenient and compact connector formats, while the 5‑pin XLR end maintains compatibility with standard DMX equipment. The cable construction balances flexibility for routing around equipment with sufficient shielding to help minimise electromagnetic interference in typical event environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting lighting consoles to DMX-controlled fixtures in theatres and live events
• Linking dimmer racks and signal splitters within a lighting rig
• Temporary outdoor installations where a 5 m DMX run is needed and protected from heavy weather
• Studio and rehearsal spaces requiring a reliable mid-length DMX connection

Key specifications

• Cable length: 5 metres
• Connectors: P-Con to 5‑pin XLR
• Protocol support: DMX512-compatible signal transmission
• Construction: flexible jacket with shielding to reduce interference
• Intended use: indoor and temporary outdoor installations

How to use

Connect the P-Con end to the compatible socket on the lighting fixture or controller and insert the 5‑pin XLR into the DMX output or input of the corresponding device, making sure each connector is securely seated. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, heavy foot traffic, or pinching points and use appropriate cable ties or ramps where necessary. When linking multiple devices, follow DMX line topology recommendations and terminate the last fixture on the chain with a DMX terminator if required by the system design.

Usage recommendations

Use the cable primarily indoors or in short-term outdoor setups with protection from rain and prolonged moisture. Inspect connectors before each use for bent pins or damage, avoid over-tensioning connector strain reliefs, and store the cable coiled without tight kinks to prolong service life.
