Data Cabling
To link fixtures together you must obtain data cables.
You can purchase CHAUVET-certified DMX cables
directly from a dealer/distributor or construct your own
cable. If you choose to create your own
cable please use data-grade cables that can carry a high
quality signal and are less prone to electromagnetic
interference.
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 shiel
d
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 ohm

CAB LE C ONN ECTORS
Cabling must have a male XLR connector on one end and a female
XLR connector on the other end.
