ACCU CABLE5-Pin Male - Female XLR Connectors
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
5-pin XLR connector pair for building or repairing DMX cables. For anyone terminating their own lighting runs rather than buying finished cables.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Repairing a damaged end on an existing 5-pin DMX cable
- Building custom-length DMX runs for a fixed install
- Keeping spares in a lighting tech's road case
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone who wants a ready-to-use cable out of the box
- People without a soldering iron or the patience to use one
- 3-pin DMX rigs, which need 3-pin connectors instead
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
Male and female pair
You get both ends, so one purchase terminates one complete cable rather than half of one.
Detail 03
Black housing
Disappears on a dark stage and against black cable, which matters for front-of-house sightlines.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Connectors only. No cable, no solder, no strain relief hardware beyond the housing.
- 02You need a soldering iron, solder and wire strippers to finish the job.
- 03Confirm your fixtures are 5-pin, not 3-pin, before ordering.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this a cable?
No. This is the connector pair only, one male and one female. You supply the DMX cable and solder them on yourself.
02Will this work with 3-pin fixtures?
Not directly. These are 5-pin connectors. Running them into 3-pin gear requires an adapter or a different connector.
03Can I use these for microphone cable?
Mic cable uses 3-pin XLR. These 5-pin connectors will not mate with standard mic inputs.
04Do I need to solder these?
Yes. The pins are solder-cup style, so plan on a soldering iron and basic wiring skills.
