DMX Chain Termination

This 3-pin DMX terminator ends a daisy-chain run by placing a 120-ohm resistor between pins 2 and 3. It is built for lighting technicians and audio engineers who need reliable signal closure on professional XLR networks. The anodized aluminium locking body resists accidental disconnection during rigging or live events. A rubber boot and plastic cap protect the contacts when the terminator is not in use.

Sustained Signal Integrity

Dual shielding layers provide 100 percent coverage around the conductors to reject electromagnetic interference over long cable runs. The fixed 120-ohm load prevents signal reflections that would otherwise corrupt DMX data during continuous operation. Locking XLR shells keep the connection secure through vibration and repeated handling. The assembly maintains consistent termination impedance without degradation over time.

120-Ohm Resistor Value

The single specification that determines compatibility is the soldered 120-ohm resistor between pins 2 and 3. Controllers and fixtures that expect a different termination impedance will not operate correctly with this unit. Buyers who need a terminator with a different resistance value or a female connector gender must select an alternative part. No other electrical parameters are configurable on this device.

Questions about this item

Does this 120-ohm resistor terminator generate any heat or noise during continuous DMX operation?

No, the passive 120-ohm resistor soldered between pins 2 and 3 produces no heat or noise when terminating a DMX daisy chain.

What connectors must my DMX devices already have for this male-to-male XLR terminator to fit?

Your DMX fixtures or controllers need standard 3-pin female XLR sockets to accept the two male connectors on this terminator.

Will this 3-pin XLR terminator work with older 5-pin DMX equipment I still use?

No, the 3-pin male XLR connectors on this model 601600 only mate with 3-pin female XLR ports, not 5-pin DMX sockets.
