5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors.
Some manufactures use 5-pin XLR connectors for DATA transmission in place
of 3-pin. 5-pin XLR xtures may be implemented in a 3-pin XLR DMX line. When inserting standard 5-pin XLR
connectors in to a 3-pin line a cable adaptor must be used, these adaptors are readily available at most electric
stores. The chart below details a proper cable conversion.

Termination reduces signal errors and
avoids signal transmission problems
and interference. It is always advisable
to connect a DMX terminal, (Resistance
120 Ohm 1/4 W) between PIN 2 (DMX-)
and PIN 3 (DMX +) of the last fixture.
