Reconfiguring DMX Data Lines

Based on your system layout, you may need to reposition data lines. For this, you will need a small flat-
blade screwdriver and a small Phillips-head screwdriver. This example demonstrates repositioning data
lines for the X-coupler, but the same information applies to T-couplers, too.
1: Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, remove the screws that secure the cover to the coupler.
2: Using a flat-blade screwdriver, loosen the two screws securing the red and black data wires.

3: Gently pull the wires from the connector and out from under the black bridge restraint. Be
careful not to remove the clear shielding.
4: Repeat steps 2 and 3 for remaining connections that need to be repositioned.
