3.12 CONSTRUCTION OF THE DMX TERMINATION

The termination avoids the risk of DMX 512 signals being reflected back along the cable when they reach-
es the end of the line: under certain conditions and with certain cable lengths, this could cause them to
cancel the original signals.
The termination is prepared by soldering a 120Ω 1/4 W resistor between pins 2 and 3 pin male XLR con-
nector, as shown in figure.
