Application Scenarios

Custom DMX Fixture Building Integrate a professional DMX input directly into your custom-built LED fixtures, moving heads, or special effect machines. This pigtail provides a clean and secure connection point for your internal electronics.
DMX Decoder and Controller Integration Easily connect a DMX Master Decoder Console to your lighting network. The bare wires are perfect for terminating into the screw-down terminals found on many decoders and controllers, ensuring a solid data link.
Stage and Architectural Lighting Repair A reliable replacement for damaged or faulty female XLR ports on existing stage lights, wall washers, or other DMX-enabled equipment. Quickly restore functionality without replacing the entire fixture.
Prototyping and Testing Ideal for creating breakout boards and test jigs in a workshop environment. Quickly and easily connect various DMX512 LED Strips or other devices to your control system for development and troubleshooting.

How to Use This DMX Connector Wire

  1. Select the connector with the correct pin count and cable length required for your DMX device.
  2. Turn off all power to the DMX device before making any connections.
  3. Identify the function of each wire lead -- consult the manual of your lighting fixture or controller to confirm the specific pinout, as it can vary between manufacturers.
  4. Strip approximately 5mm of insulation from the end of each wire you intend to use.
  5. Securely connect each wire to the corresponding input terminal (e.g., screw terminal, solder pad) on your device's circuit board.
  6. Double-check all connections for accuracy and ensure there are no stray wire strands that could cause a short circuit.
  7. Restore power and test the DMX connection.
⚠ Precautions
  • Always verify the pinout of your equipment before wiring to prevent damage to your DMX devices.
  • Ensure the total voltage passing through the connector does not exceed the 50V rating.
  • This is a pigtail connector for wiring into a device, not an extension cable for linking two fixtures together.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between this and a DMX extension cable?

A:This is a pigtail connector with a female XLR on one end and bare wires on the other. It's designed to be wired directly into a device. A DMX extension cable has connectors (male and female) on both ends to link two devices together.

Q: Can I use this for audio microphones?

A:While the connector is physically the same as an audio XLR, it is not recommended. DMX cables and audio cables have different impedance ratings, and using the wrong type can cause signal errors in a professional DMX lighting system.

Q: What is the 'Just Connector' option for?

A:This option provides only the female XLR connector with solder cups, allowing you to attach your own custom wire type or length for specialized applications.

Q: How do I know the wire colors for the pinout?

A:Wire color standards can vary. It is essential to use a multimeter to test for continuity between the pins on the XLR connector and the wire ends to correctly identify each connection before soldering or terminating.

Q: Is this connector waterproof?

A:No, this is a standard indoor-rated XLR connector. For outdoor or wet environments, you should seek out IP-rated DMX connectors and enclosures.
