DMX DATA CABLE

Use a Belden© 9841 or equivalent cable which meets the specifications for EIA RS-485 applications.

Standard microphone cables cannot transmit DMX data reliably over long distances. The cable will

have the following characteristics:

2-conductor twisted pair plus a shield

Maximum capacitance between conductors – 30 pF/ft.

Maximum capacitance between conductor and shield – 55 pF/ft.

Maximum resistance of 20 ohms / 1000 ft.

Nominal impedance 100 – 140 ohms

CABLE CONNECTORS

Cabling must have a male XLR connector on one end and a female XLR connector on the other end.
