Special Note: Line Termination:
When longer runs of cable are used, you may need to use a terminator
on the last unit to avoid erratic behavior. A terminator is a 90-120 ohm
1/4 watt resistor which is connected between pins 2 and 3 of a male
XLR connector (DATA + and DATA -). This unit is inserted in the female
XLR connector of the last unit in your daisy chain to terminate the line.
Using a cable terminator will decrease the possibilities of erratic
behavior.

5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors:
Some manufactures use 5-pin XLR connectors for DATA transmission in
place of 3-pin. 5-pin XLR fixtures may be implemented in a 3-pin XLR DMX
line. When inserting standard 5-pin XLR connectors in to a 3-pin line a
cable adaptor must be used, these adaptors are readily available at most
electric stores. The chart below details a proper cable conversion.
