DMX fixtures are designed to receive data through a serial Daisy Chain. A Daisy Chain connection
is where the DATA OUT of one fixture connects to the DATA IN of the next fixture. The order in
hich the fixtures are connected is not important and has no effect on how a controller
communicates to each fixture. Use an order that provides for the easiest and most direct cabling.
Connect fixtures using shielded two conductor twisted pair cable with three pin XLR male to female
connectors. The shield connection is pin 1, while pin 2 is Data Negative (S-) and pin 3 is Data
positive (S+). CHAUVET carries 3-pin XLR DMX compliant cables, DMX-10 (33’), DMX-4.5 (15’) and
DMX-1.5 (5’)
