DMX cable PSSO 3-pin IP65 20m black, model 30227843

PSSO DMX cable 3-pin IP65 20m black (model 30227843) is a weather-resistant control cable designed to transmit DMX512 signals between lighting controllers, dimmers and fixtures over medium distances. The cable's IP65-rated connectors and outer sheath provide protection against dust and water jets, enabling use in outdoor event setups and indoor environments where moisture or splashes may occur. At 20 meters length and with a standard 3-pin DMX configuration, this cable suits common stage and architectural lighting networks that require robust signal continuity and physical durability.

Advantages

The PSSO DMX cable offers reliable DMX signal transmission with an IP65 ingress protection level that reduces risk from dust and water exposure. Its 20 m length gives flexibility for stage layouts and outdoor runs while avoiding excessive signal loss in typical short-to-medium link distances. The cable's black outer jacket provides a discreet appearance in most lighting rigs and architectural installations. Connectors and sheath are built to withstand repeated handling and movements typical of event and touring use.

Suitable for

• Connecting DMX lighting fixtures to controllers at concerts, theatres and events
• Outdoor or semi-exposed installations where IP65 protection is required
• Architectural lighting runs where a 20 m cable length is convenient
• Temporary event setups, rental inventories and touring rigs

When it may not be suitable

This cable uses a 3-pin DMX connector; some professional lighting systems and fixtures use 5-pin DMX. If your equipment requires 5-pin wiring you will need an appropriate adapter or a 5-pin cable instead. The IP65 rating protects against dust and water jets but is not intended for continuous submersion or long-term immersion; fully waterproof or submersible solutions would be necessary for underwater use.

Key specifications

• Connector type: 3-pin DMX (male/female configuration as required)
• Length: 20 meters
• Ingress protection: IP65-rated connectors and outer sheath
• Color: Black outer jacket
• Application: DMX512 control signal transmission for lighting

How to use

Route the cable between the lighting controller and fixture, ensuring connectors are fully seated and any threaded or locking collars are engaged to maintain IP65 protection at the connection. Avoid tight bends and kinks along the run; maintain gentle curves and secure the cable to structures to prevent strain on connectors. For long runs or complex networks, use proper DMX termination and check continuity with a suitable DMX tester before powering control equipment.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm whether your equipment uses 3-pin or 5-pin DMX connectors
• Verify that IP65 protection meets the environmental conditions of your installation
• Ensure 20 m length is appropriate for your run to avoid extra joins or signal boosters
• Check compatibility with any inline terminators, splitters or repeaters you plan to use

Usage recommendations

Use this cable for short-to-medium DMX runs in outdoor event, stage and architectural lighting where dust and water spray are concerns. Include a DMX terminator at the end of the chain and inspect connectors regularly for wear; replace if protective seals or contacts show damage to maintain IP65 performance.
