ACCU CABLESpool 5-Pin DMX Cable 300 ft.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
300 ft spool of 5-pin DMX cable from American DJ. For installers and rental techs cutting custom runs rather than buying finished cables.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Permanent installs where cable runs are cut to exact length
- Rental shops building a stock of custom DMX leads
- Long truss or FOH runs where prebuilt cables come up short
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing ready-to-use cables out of the box
- Rigs running 3-pin DMX fixtures without adapters on hand
- Single-fixture setups where one short prebuilt cable does the job
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
300 ft spool
Bulk cable, so you decide run lengths. Also means you handle stripping and soldering every termination.
Detail 03
Sold as a spool
No connectors attached. Factor XLR ends into the cost of each cable you build.
Detail 04
Black jacket
Disappears against truss and dark stage floors. Harder to spot when tracing a run under work light.
Final check
Know before you order
- 015-pin XLR connectors are not included and must be bought separately
- 02You will need soldering tools and heat shrink to terminate
- 03Verify your fixtures take 5-pin, not 3-pin, before ordering
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this come with connectors?
No. It is bare cable on a spool. Buy 5-pin XLR connectors separately and terminate each run yourself.
02Can I use this with 3-pin fixtures?
Only with adapters, or by terminating one end in 3-pin. Check every fixture in the chain before ordering.
03How many cables can I make from 300 ft?
Depends on your run lengths. Ten 25 ft cables leaves 50 ft, for example. Plan your cuts before you start.
04Is 300 ft too long for one DMX run?
DMX has practical distance limits per run. Split long chains with a DMX splitter rather than pushing one continuous run too far.
