DMX cable EUROLITE XLR 5-pin, 1 m, black

The EUROLITE DMX cable XLR 5-pin, 1 m, black is a professional-grade cable engineered for transmitting DMX512 control signals between lighting consoles, fixtures and dimmers. With a one-meter length and 5-pin XLR connectors, this cable is intended for short runs, patching and linking equipment in studios, theatres and live event setups. Its black jacket and robust connector shells provide a discreet, durable connection suitable for stage use and compact installations.

Advantages

This DMX cable features shielded conductors and secure 5-pin XLR terminations that help maintain signal integrity and reduce electromagnetic interference during operation. The compact 1 m length minimizes excess cable on stage while allowing flexible placement of lighting devices. Durable connector housings and a resilient outer jacket increase resistance to wear from frequent handling and plugging in, supporting consistent performance in professional environments.

Suitable for

• Patching between lighting consoles and fixtures in studios and theatres
• Short DMX runs for live events and stage productions
• Connecting dimmers, controllers and interface units in compact setups
• Temporary or permanent installations where short cable length is required

Key specifications

• Connector configuration: 5-pin XLR male to 5-pin XLR female
• Cable length: 1 meter
• Outer colour: black
• Cable type: shielded multi-core for data transmission
• Intended signal: DMX512 digital control

How to use

Connect the 5-pin XLR male end to the output of your lighting console or controller and the 5-pin XLR female end to the input of the receiving fixture, dimmer or interface. Ensure connectors are fully seated and that pin alignment matches the equipment’s DMX pinout. For chained devices, use the cable to link the output of one fixture to the input of the next, observing the recommended termination practices for DMX512 lines where required. Avoid excessive bending near the connectors and route the cable to prevent strain on connector shells.

Usage recommendations

For optimal DMX performance, use this 1 m cable for short patch connections and maintain proper DMX termination at the end of the chain. Store coiled loosely to avoid kinks, inspect connectors regularly for bent pins or damaged shells, and replace the cable if shielding or insulation is compromised to prevent signal degradation.
