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.
