The combined number of channels required by all fixtures on a serial data link determines the number of fixtures that the data link can support.

CABLE CONNECTORS

Cabling must have a male XLR connector on one end and a female XLR connector on the other end.

Termination reduces signal errors. To avoid signal transmission problems and interference, it is always advisable to connect a DMX signal terminator.
