DMX Termination

DMX Termination with 110 Ohms Resistor

“Open ends” of DMX lines must be terminated. The 3-pin terminating plugs contain a 110Ω, 1/2W, resistor across pins 2 & 3.  and the 5-pin terminating plugs contain two 110Ω, 1/2W,  one resistor across pins 2 & 3, another resistor across pin 4 & 5.  The DMX terminator used on the last lighting fixture to terminate the DMX 512 signal and help prevent signal reflections and data errors. It can stops your DMX signal from bouncing back down the chain and getting messy.
