Product Information
Construct a flawless, professional-grade lighting control system with our DMX300 Shielded DMX512 Signal Cable. Sold by the meter, this bulk cable allows you to create custom-length connections tailored perfectly to your project, eliminating signal loss from coiled excess wire and ensuring a clean, professional installation. Its RVVP construction features a crucial braided or foil shield, protecting the sensitive DMX signal from electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference (EMI/RFI). This guarantees your lighting commands are transmitted with maximum fidelity, which is essential for complex stage productions, architectural installations using DMX512 LED Strips Series, and reliable connection to any DMX Master Decoder Console. Choose from a wide range of pin counts and wire gauges to build a truly robust and reliable DMX network.

Application Scenarios
How to Use This Bulk DMX Cable
- Measure and cut the precise length of cable needed for your connection.
- Carefully use a wire stripper to remove about 1 inch (2.5cm) of the outer black PVC jacket, taking care not to cut the shield or inner wires.
- Gently peel back the braided or foil shielding layer and twist it into a single wire. This will connect to Pin 1 on your connector.
- Strip about 1/4 inch (5-6mm) of insulation from the ends of the inner conductor wires.
- Solder the inner conductors and the shield wire to the appropriate pins on your XLR or other DMX connectors. Follow the standard DMX512 pinout (Pin 1: Ground/Shield, Pin 2: Data-, Pin 3: Data+).
- Always double-check the pinout requirements for all your DMX devices before soldering connectors.
- Ensure all solder joints are clean and secure to prevent intermittent connections or signal loss.
- For runs over 300 feet (100m), it is highly recommended to use a thicker wire gauge (e.g., 16AWG or 14AWG) to minimize signal degradation.
- The cable shield must be connected to Pin 1 at both ends of the cable for proper grounding.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is RVVP cable and why is it important for DMX512?
A:RVVP is a flexible cable with an internal shielding layer. This shield is crucial for DMX512 as it protects the digital signal from outside electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring reliable and error-free lighting control.
Q: Do I need 3-pin or 5-pin cable for my lights?
A:While the DMX512 standard specifies a 5-pin connector, most fixtures only use the first 3 pins. 3-pin is the most common in practice, but you should always check your equipment's specifications to be certain.
Q: How do I choose the correct wire gauge (AWG)?
A:For shorter runs under 100 ft, 20AWG or 18AWG is generally sufficient. For longer distances, select a thicker gauge (a lower AWG number like 16AWG or 14AWG) to reduce voltage drop and maintain signal integrity.
Q: Does this cable come with connectors attached?
A:No, this product is sold as bulk cable by the meter. You will need to purchase and attach your own connectors, such as 3-pin or 5-pin XLRs, which allows for complete customization of length and connector type.
Q: What is the maximum recommended length for a single DMX cable run?
A:The DMX512 standard allows for a maximum run of about 1000 feet (300 meters) before the signal may degrade. For runs longer than this, a DMX opto-splitter or signal booster should be used.
Q: Can I use this cable for microphone or audio signals?
A:It is not recommended. This cable is specifically designed with an impedance of 110-120 ohms for digital DMX signals. Using it for audio can result in improper impedance matching and degraded sound quality.
