DMX Cable XLR 3-pin 3 m white — EUROLITE shielded control cable for stage lighting

The EUROLITE DMX Cable XLR 3-pin 3 m in white is a shielded control cable engineered for DMX512 lighting systems. With professional 3-pin XLR connectors and a 3-meter length, this cable links lighting controllers, dimmers and moving fixtures while minimising electromagnetic interference. The white jacket makes it suitable for installations where a discreet or light-coloured appearance is required, such as stage edges, broadcast sets or architectural lighting runs.

Advantages

This EUROLITE DMX cable provides a balanced signal path and a continuous shield to reduce noise and crosstalk in DMX512 networks. The 3-pin XLR connectors are industry-standard for many lighting controllers and fixtures, ensuring compatibility with most stage and event equipment. The 3 m length offers a practical reach for common setups without excess cable bulk, and the white outer sheath enables neater visual integration in bright environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting DMX512 controllers to dimmer packs, moving heads or LED fixtures
• Live concerts, theatres and touring productions with standard 3-pin DMX infrastructure
• Fixed installations in studios, houses of worship, or architectural lighting where a white cable is preferred
• Temporary event rigs and rental inventories requiring shielded, standard XLR connections

When it may not be suitable

This 3-pin DMX cable is intended for standard DMX512 systems that use 3-pin XLR connectors; it is not suitable where 5-pin DMX connectors are required by specific lighting consoles or fixtures. For very long runs beyond typical stage distances, dedicated low-capacitance or line-amplified solutions may be more appropriate to maintain signal integrity over extended lengths.

Key specifications

• Cable type: shielded control cable for DMX512
• Connector type: 3-pin XLR male/female (professional wiring for DMX)
• Length: 3 metres
• Jacket colour: white
• Shielding: continuous braid or foil shielding to reduce interference
• Application: signal transmission for stage lighting control

How to use

Plug the male 3-pin XLR connector into the DMX output of the lighting console or controller and connect the female 3-pin XLR to the input of the first fixture, dimmer or DMX node in the chain. For multi-fixture setups, daisy-chain subsequent fixtures using additional DMX cables, and terminate the final device with a DMX terminator if required. Route the cable to avoid running parallel to power runs where possible to minimise interference, and use secure strain relief at connection points to protect connectors from mechanical stress.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm whether your fixtures and console use 3-pin or 5-pin DMX connectors
• Plan cable lengths for your layout to avoid unnecessary joins and signal loss
• Check whether a white jacket suits the visual requirements of your installation or event
• For long permanent runs, consider cables with specific low-capacitance ratings or active signal boosting

Usage recommendations

Use this EUROLITE 3 m DMX XLR cable for standard stage and event setups where short to medium runs are needed. Keep runs tidy, terminate the line at the last fixture, and avoid tight bends near the connector to maintain reliable DMX512 communication.
