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.
