DMX-512 connection with DMX terminator

For installations where the DMX cable has to run a long distance or is in an electrically “noisy” environment, it is

recommended that a DMX terminator is used. This helps prevent corruption of the digital control signal. The DMX

terminator is simply a 5 pin XLR plug (male) with a 120 Ω resistor connected between pins 2 and 3. It is then plugged

into the output XLR socket of the last Elektralite Theatrical White Dazer or other dmx device in the chain. Please see

illustration below.
