remember that DMX cable must be daisy chained and cannot be split.

Be sure to follow figures two and three when making your own
cables. Do not use the ground lug on the XLR connector. Do not con-

used, you may need to use a terminator on the last unit to avoid erratic
behavior. A terminator is a 110-120 ohm 1/4 watt resistor which is con-
nected between pins 2 and 3 of a male XLR connector (DATA + and
DATA -). This unit is inserted in the female XLR connector of the last
unit in your daisy chain to terminate the line. Using a cable terminator
(ADJ part number Z-DMX/T) will decrease the possibilities of erratic
behavior.
Termination reduces signal errors and
avoids signal transmission problems
