the stem length to DMX run length calculations for each Four-Cell Pendant in a
DMX run. DMX In wiring runs from the canopy of the Four-Cell Pendant through the
stem to the fixture body, and DMX Thru wiring runs from the fixture body through the
stem to the canopy.
DMX connections may use either Belden 9729 or Cat5 (or equivalents). Screw-terminal
connectors are provided for use with Belden 9729. IDC connectors are provided for use with
Cat5 (or equivalent). Cable preparation instructions for DMX termination are contained in the
setup guides that are included in the termination kit, and are also available for free download at

2. Optionally, terminate DMX/RDM thru to the next device in the DMX data run. Up to 32
DMX/RDM devices can be daisy-chained together per data run.
a. See the specific termination setup guide for the type of cable used in the installation,
either Belden 9729 or Cat5.
b. Install the connector with wires terminated to the "DMX Thru" receptacle on the
termination board.
3. Terminate DMX/RDM data signal for the last DMX/RDM device in the data run by setting
the termination switch on the termination board to "ON". All other devices in the data run
maintain the factory default termination switch setting: "OFF". See
