DMX cables are specially designed to carry DMX512 protocol digital data signals, used for digital lighting controllers, consoles, dimmers, lasers and fog machines. Made from 110ohm rated twisted pair OFC copper conductors with dual foil + braided copper shield. DMX equipment can have either 3pin or 5pin XLR plugs, and can usually be compatible with one another using a 3pin to 5pin DMX cable.
