7. DMX-512 CONNECTION WITH DMX TERMINATOR

For installations where the DMX cable has to run over 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 caused by electrical noise. The DMX
terminator is an XLR plug with a 120 Ω resistor connected between pins 2 and 3,which is then
plugged into the output (female) XLR socket of the last fixture in the chain. Please see
illustrations below.
