• Connection of DMX/RDM thru to the next DMX device. This connection may also be either Belden 9729 or Cat5. Order the appropriate DMX termination kit for the cable type used from ETC (Belden 9729 use part number 4100A1012, or Cat5 use 4100A1013). Termination instructions and the appropriate connector is provided with the termination kit.
