ACCU CABLE5-Pin DMX Lighting Cable 5 ft.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 5 ft 5-pin DMX cable for linking lighting fixtures and controllers. Short run for stacked or adjacent fixtures in a small rig.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Jumping between two fixtures on the same truss section
- Controller to first fixture when they sit side by side
- Spare in the gig bag for a failed link
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Runs longer than five feet — you will need to daisy-chain
- Fixtures with 3-pin DMX ports, unless you add an adapter
- Audio signal use — DMX cable is a data cable
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
5 ft length
Fixture-to-fixture jumper length. Keeps slack off the floor when units are close together.
Detail 03
Black jacket
Disappears against truss and stage floor, so it is less visible to an audience.
Detail 04
Data cable, not power
Carries control signal only. Each fixture still needs its own power feed.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Check whether your fixtures use 5-pin or 3-pin DMX before ordering
- 02No adapters included — 3-pin gear needs a separate turnaround
- 03One cable links one gap; count the gaps in your chain
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this work with 3-pin DMX fixtures?
Not directly. The ends are 5-pin. You would need a 5-pin to 3-pin turnaround adapter cable in the chain.
02Can I use a regular mic cable instead?
Mic cable is built for audio, not data. Use a DMX cable for control runs so the signal stays clean.
03Does this carry power to the light?
No. It carries the DMX control signal only. Fixtures need separate power.
04Is five feet enough between fixtures?
It covers fixtures mounted close together on the same bar. For wider spacing, use a longer cable.
