2-Pack 3 ft DMX XLR Cable

The Hosa 2-pack supplies two 3-foot cables with 3-pin XLR male-to-female connectors. Each uses 22 AWG conductors and extra shielding built to EBU and AES standards for digital lighting signals. The balanced construction suits stage lighting, strobe control and DMX512 controller links in theatre or concert rigs. Black jacket and round profile simplify routing on truss or floor runs.

Replaces Single Cables or Adapters

Buyers who currently run one long cable with inline adapters can swap to two dedicated 3-foot runs for cleaner signal paths. The jump is worth it when a fixture sits within three feet of the controller or when daisy-chaining multiple units without adding extra connectors. The dual-purpose XLR pinout also lets the same cable serve microphone or line-level audio duties if the lighting rig changes.

Suits Lighting Techs and Audio Engineers

Technicians who need short, balanced links between DMX outputs and fixture inputs will find the length and shielding match the spec. Installers requiring longer drops beyond three feet, or builders who need right-angle connectors for tight panels, should look at other lengths or adapter styles instead.
