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,
such as in a discotheque, it is recommended to use a DMX terminator. This helps in preventing corruption of
the digital control signal by electrical noise. The DMX terminator is simply an XLR plug with a 120 Ω resistor
connected between pins 2 and 3,which is then plugged into the output XLR socket of the last fixture in the
chain. Please see illustrations below.
