DMX cable 110 OHM 3 POLI (2 + GND) 100mt

Applications

The cable is designed for structured cabling and creating custom looms/tails for large events, live concerts, and theater control rooms. The 100-meter reel allows you to cover long truss runs for daisy-chaining LED fixtures, strobes, and moving heads, ensuring clean integration in both permanent venue installations and temporary stages.

Advantages

Unlike adapted standard microphone cables, the native 110-Ohm impedance eliminates signal reflections and ghost flickers in fixtures. The 2 x 0.22 mm² cross-section perfectly balances low electrical resistance with an outer diameter of just 6 mm, making it easy to route through cable protectors and quick to wrap up at load-out. The heavy-duty shielding prevents interference caused by nearby power lines.

FAQ

Is it necessary to use a DMX line terminator with this cable?

Yes, the USITT DMX-512 standard always requires it, especially over long distances. Since this cable features a characteristic impedance of 110 Ohms, the output line of the last fixture in the daisy chain must be closed with a terminator (a 110-120 Ohm resistor soldered between pins 2 and 3) to completely eliminate signal reflections.

What is the maximum distance I can run this cable without signal loss?

Thanks to its 2 x 0.22 mm² conductors and native 110-Ohm impedance, this cable ensures maximum signal integrity up to approximately 150-200 meters on a linear run. Beyond this distance, or when connecting more than 32 fixtures, it is technically recommended to insert a DMX splitter/opto-isolator to regenerate the signal.

Which XLR connectors do you recommend soldering onto this 0.60 cm diameter cable?

The outer diameter of Ø 0.60 cm is the perfect industry standard for Neutrik XLR connectors (NC3MX / NC3FX series) or equivalent professional brands. The connector's rubber boot will clamp the outer jacket tightly, ensuring optimal strain relief and protecting the solder joints.
