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.
Features an overall shield to protect against EMI/RFI, ensuring clean, stable, and interference-free DMX signal transmission.
Sold by the meter, allowing you to create cables of the exact length required, reducing waste and clutter.
Available in 2, 3, 4, and 5-pin options to match the specific requirements of your DMX fixtures and controllers.
Choose from seven wire sizes, from flexible 20AWG (0.5mm²) to robust 10AWG (6mm²), to optimize for any distance.
A tough, black PVC outer sheath provides excellent protection and flexibility for both permanent and mobile use.

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.
