Detail 01
3-pin connector
Matches the 3-pin DMX in and out on most entry-level fixtures. Anything with 5-pin sockets needs an adapter.

ACCU CABLE3-Pin DMX Lighting Cable 50 ft.
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 50-foot 3-pin DMX cable for running control signal between lighting fixtures. Buy it if your run outgrew the short cables that came in the box.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Long throws from controller to fixtures across a stage or room
- Mobile DJ rigs where truss and console sit far apart
- Keeping one clean run instead of chaining several short cables
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Fixtures with 5-pin DMX inputs, unless you add an adapter
- Microphone runs — this is data cable, not audio cable
- Short hops between adjacent fixtures; 50 feet becomes clutter
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
50 ft length
Covers front-of-house to stage on most small gigs. Coil the slack in a figure-eight rather than stretching it tight.
Detail 03
DMX data cable
Built to carry lighting control over distance. Its impedance keeps the signal clean on runs where mic cable gets flaky.
Detail 04
Black jacket
Blends into dark floors and truss, which also means it is easy to miss during a low-light teardown.
Detail 05
About $32
Cheaper than two shorter cables plus a coupler, and one continuous run means one less connection to fail.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01One cable only — you need a run for every fixture in the chain
- 02Check whether your fixtures take 3-pin or 5-pin DMX first
- 03A terminator on the last fixture prevents flicker on long chains
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use this as a microphone cable?
The connector will fit an XLR input, but this is data cable. Keep it for DMX and use mic cable for microphones.
02Does it work with 5-pin DMX fixtures?
Not directly. You need a 3-pin to 5-pin adapter, which is sold separately.
03Is 50 feet too long for a small setup?
It works, but you will be coiling slack every night. If the controller sits within a few feet of the fixtures, a shorter cable is tidier.
04How many fixtures can I daisy-chain?
A DMX chain handles up to 32 devices. Total cable length matters more than the count — terminate the last fixture on long runs.
